has anyone ever four linked the rear of an 04+ f150. how hard would it be to do and how much better of a ride would it be over the leaf springs

 

lifted? lowered? stock?

are you still going to tow with it?

ride quality will be determined on what you run with coils/coilovers/shocks/valving/spring rate. The link aspect really wont change the ride that much.

 

well i would like to be able to run 37s or 38s. well i want to run with whatever would give me a good ride. cause right i have the leaf springs with a block and an aal. and i hate the way it rides.

 

well have you thought about getting shackles and flipping the shackle mount?

pull that aal out and try to figure out a way to lift it otherwise. that will save on some ride. there are also other leaf spring manufacturers out there that make the softer ride with a good amount of lift.

well you can always do a 4 link to. or a 3 link. if you do the spring rates right and valve the coilovers right it will ride pretty good.

 

yeah im running 35s right now. i put the aal in so it would level the back with the front. and no i havent thought about the shackles. who do you recommend with softer leaf spings and any idea of price.

 

If you hit up ebay you will see a set of 1.5" lift shackles for your truck.....Atlas, Deaver and National all make leaf packs and can build them to your specs. Deaver is the most expensive I think. I had a set of Nationals which SBCHRIS now owns. They rode good but stiffer than normal because I had them build them with additional payload. I believe it's Topgun Customz that sells the Atlas 6" packs for like $550 or so. ALCHEMY has a set and they look as though they flex pretty well.

 

yeah i dont care about being able to tow or haul anything.

 

it wont be cheap to build a 4 link with coilovers in the rear. especially if you dont know much about it and are going to get it done.

 

4wheelparts has a sale going and their 6" Skyjacker softride leaf packs are $512 including shipping right now. I have no idea what they ride like but from what I've heard their 4" AAL is decent.

 

333

 

i agree, skyjacker makes some nice springs for rangers with great ride.

 

well i dont want a prerunner. i just hate the way the rear rides now and i was just looking at other options. i think the new leaf pack would be more my direction. dont really wanna drop 10 grand just to have a better ride.

 

Go with the 6" Skyjackers and later if you want to bump it up to 8" to run 37's all you have to do is add a 2" block.

 

yeah thats the way im gonna go. i looked on 4wheelparts.com and i couldnt find the skyjacker leaf springs

 

nevermind found them
