lower link angle

[chris85053]

i was just wondering what is the best angle for the lower links.. straight from mounting point to axle... going in ward from mounting point to axle or going outward for mounting point to axle..?

"Best" is what fit's......... mine are pretty much all straight.

More importantly is the separation and angles in relation to the ground. (with a 3 link)

Typically lowers are run (if you have space) outside at axle and inside at frame/subframe. You have run everything through link calculator before you set it up correct?:eek: Parallel lowers will yield alot of rear steer and other oddball tendencies...ask me how I know.:D

Is he running a true four link or a panhard setup? Sorry, probably should have gotten some clarification before my post.

I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) he's talking about a 3 link front setup.

Then disregard everything I said in my first response!:D

Very important info to know here.

Front is usually set up quite different than rear. well for w DP rig anyway.

X2 on what fits is usually the main factor.

Mine started on the inside of the frame and angle out to the ends of the axle.http://inlinethumb42.webshots.com/41769/2667177020048043617S600x600Q85.jpg (http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2667177020048043617BouidG)
Kind of just happened that way.

ya mine is a 3 link with trac bar.. i have a hp 44 (i think about 65") and i am going to mount the lower mounts right under the frame and mount the lowers on the axle , driver side right next to the pumkin and the same distance on the passenger side..

Then they should angle inward towards the center of the truck that way to keep the tires from rubbing the links........... my lowers are just inside the frame rails and run straight (as shown) to the axle (same as yours)......... the upper is slightly angled inward towards the pumpkin to clear the vitals on that side.

Not really............ I plan to change mine up a lot in the future to tuck the belly up a bit.......... you can get a similar one (based on mine) from Ballistic Fabrication though. :D
