Pretty sure this was already referenced in another thread and it was determined that it was junk....Ill see if I can find the thread for ya.

Edit: Found the link... http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/racer...ke-4-link.html
It wasnt "junk" just not the best option.

I ran there 6 link setup on my old bagged truck. Rides damn good. but for the price you can fab your own x2 lol. Also the pan hard bar is the weak point on that setup mine was bolted onto the frame but the frame is so thin it pulled a section right out of my frame and i had to patch the hole with plating and weld the bracket. all kinda crap.

4 link is good. i would look elsewhere though. or maybe weld the pan hard bar on from the beginning.

Like Kurt said in the other thread....its not a 4-link, its a parallel 4 bar. Does it work? Yes. Is it the best? Thats debateable. Since its non-adjustable some say no, others say yes cuz you dont have to adjust it all the time.

A few people I know with bagged trucks run this 4-link with the watts link. They all recommend it.

It might be worth checking with db rods and see if he can do it better and cheaper. I know for sure If I were in Tx he would be working on mine when it ever gets done.

I put together a bag system with twin 5 gal tanks and twin viair 480c's, kp 4 link, kp watts link, kp control arms Slam Specialties bags, 3/8 hydraulic lines. DBrods was cheaper. So, when Im ready, he will be doing my fab work.

FWIW, Chris Alston's Chassisworks actually owns KPComponents so you know its good stuff.

Oh yeah, we've all seen Jon's work and it's awesome so if it is possible for you to get your truck to him I'd go that route.

are you thinking about getting this for the nnbs Silvy?

Get them and mount them backwards, left side on right inside of frame rail and vice-versa. You'll have to move the fuel tank but it needs to be where the spare goes for best traction anyway. :thumb:

I thought about doing it reversed like that on my 93 to narrow up the rear so I'd have more room for wider tires under the fenderwells. Should work just fine other than having to move the fuel tank and boxing the frame rail which could be done pretty easily by welding the KP kit to the frame.

u know what thats what the guy said from kp,,to make it work on 08+ you would have to drill the holes or just weld it.

Go for it!! It will work. Make sure you set it up at the height you want your truck to ride at... like stated before, no adjustability. Check and double check your angles on the bars before welding or bolting in... don't foget to set the pinion angle as well. Personally, I would run a new bar from frame rail to frame rail to mount the coilovers... it's easier that way and you can mount the coilovers at a better angle.
