well it was an originally a diesel 3/4 ton. its been switched over to one ton suspension, at some point someone put in a t.b.i 350 with a 700r4. its got aftermarket lowers on the front and a not so good two link with bags on the bars out back. engine driven compressor, 5 gallon tank, 8 valves, 10 switches. the interior looks as if someone pulled everything out of a suburban and swapped it over. (i'm guessing that's where the motor came from). i was gonna see if anyone had any pictures of these squares with a four link out back. just looking for some bar lengths and set up ideas. i'm not opposed to the two link but i definitly need to add a pan hard bar if it stays, but i'd rather just put a four link in and be done.
little garage info for those who care. its just a hair under 1200 sq feet and there's enough room that i can stuff my daily in there during the winter if need be. i'm just glad the dually fit in there and there's still room to get around it.

i don't know where you're in relation to columbus big bear but i've got a cousin over there. not much of an update but i did get some of the wiring under the hood gone through and cleaned up. lets just say there's lots of butt plugs and masking tape everywhere. maybe i can get some pictures up in a little bit. have you checked out www.garagejournal.com? there's some garages/shops that i could only dream of having, plus there's some really nice stuff tucked away inside of them as well

different strokes for different folks i guess. it bugs the hell out of me to see wiring just laying every which way and butt connectors everywhere, could be worse, there could be scotch locks on everything lol. just wait till i show you guys the mess of metal that has been added with nothing more then glorified chicken poop to hold on the link tabs and what not

well here's some of the quality welds. who ever did the notch did a good job but thats about where it ends. its nothing that can't be fixed. i was also gonna ask if anyone had some pictures of their four link setups on a square body? i've come to realize that there isn't a ton of traffic on this site so maybe i should be posting my suspension questions in the suspension section huh? anyway here's a couple of pics.

thanks for the pics. well, it doesnt look to bad man. like you said, it can be fixed. as far as traffic goes on here, its on and off. it picks up more in the fall and winter, as more people are chilling around the house. this is my fav site. im on here every chance i have. even if im just reading old threads ect. how are you wanting to do your link ? you plan on towing ?
