Hi there, I spent this last weekend putting this all together

I'll update throughout the week, and I will be at Az rocks testing it out for sure...

I used 9 inch lift coils from a TJ kit, and 1 1/4" heims for the links. at the other end I used poly bushings, but may need to rethink that after experiencing some death wobble last night. Check out the rest at

have you considered a pan hard bar? I know the 4 link is not supposed to need it but it will help control the death wobble problem. you are using the 4 link system as a "push" rather than a "pull" as you would in a rear 4 link setup. hard to explain...its like pushing a trailer down the road rather then pulling it. try and keep the trailer from jack knifing. that is kid of what death wobble is in this case. that is all I can think of to help the situation.

Thats a good idea it makes sense. Just asking though, if Im not "pushing", im just coasting (not in 4X4) and the vibrations start at a very low speed, if you drove a truck with 4 link in the rear backward at 15 mph would anything happen? If nothing helps the problem, I will definatley resort to the panhard, but tomorrow I will get brand new bushings and update. Thanks

The difference with driving a 4 link rear backward is it has no steering. it may not be cause of the problem, not having a pan hard. but it was a thought. good luck. I will have to check your rig out at AZ rocks

that 4 link setup is way cool.

Jeff, that looks great! We need to go for a shakedown run sometime this week.

You cannot run a pan hard bar with a triangulated setup. With a triangulated the axle travels straight up and down and articulates, the panhard requires the axle to move left to right as it follows tha arc of the track bar. It would bind like crazy if you added one to that setup. It looks like his draglink is fairly flat which is all that really can be tuned for bump steer...

good call, see I told you that was only a thought. sorry for the miss info.

this form is hard to follow some times.....I missed your post....better late than never.

the rolled taco is my first '01 DC. I was rear ended on the freeway...went on my side....then rolled it 3 times. so I got an '03 DC to replace it and went crazy with it

LOL. I bent 2 TRD housings and blew up a set of gears in the TRD 3rd... got a rearend off of a 96 taco (non TRD 8.4) and put 4.88 gears and an ARB locker. seems to be better now. check out the pic between the two 3rd members.
