Default four link under stock body

How many people have put a four link kit under a semi stock body?

What needs to be done?

I'm looking at the chassisengineering kit with a ford 9" rearend

Problem I'd have is that the LCA's are not adjustable. Can't center the rear tires fore to aft very easily without adjustable LCA's. And with 28" ET Drags, that's pretty important.

Kinda remind me of the Lakewood Traction Action bars. But at least those aren't "bolt on".

Isn't that why the uppers are adjustable? Why would you need adj lowers when the uppers are?

I just talked to G-force and it sounds like their kit is for someone who has like a moser already and just wants a quick bolt on & weld 2 spots ladder bar kit.

Its a great kit if you already have a rearend with oem flanges welded on.

Here is the ladder bar kit I was looking at http://www.chassisengineering.com/sh...ProductId=1393

It requirs a lot more welding & cutting, but in the end I think its probably a more hard-core kit.

I'd rather have the four link kit though

Wow,

That kit looks great. So, does it do away with all LCA/panhard rod/shocks/springs? can you still run the factory gas tank?

Boostaholic, are you going to go with this kit?

I don't plan to put a factory gas tank under the car.
