4 Link System for F150
#2
for a lowered truck? or lifted?
I am fixing to bag my truck, and will make my own 4 link
it will include 2"x2" square tubing
the end pieces of a leaf spring will be welded on one side and smoothed, then it will have a new urethane bushing
this will connect to the stock hanger and then be U bolted under the axle
the other 2 links will be in a triangular formation / \
they will be 1" round tubing with adjustable eyelets on each end
brackets will be welded on the pumpkin O and onto a brace on the frame
then you can either put the bags above the axle (traditional style)
or you can put it on the links connected to the stock hangers (this will provide more lift)

that four link can not be bolted directly to the axle it must pivot at the front hanger and the bottom of the axle and the triangulated upper links will have to pivot at the frame connecting point and the top axle connecting points. The pinion will twist alot when the truck goes up and down. And axle wrap will now cause the truck to lift and lower when the links are set up that way, the upper links need to have rod ends to stop deflection of the poly bushings or the axle will shift side to side when the bushings get a load from the side, ex. in a high speed turn the truck will start waging back and forth.
