hows it going i got an 1988 toyota pickup that i want to bagg i was gonna start with the back seems cheaper and a little easier. dont really got a clue on 4 link set up or what to do. im probally ganna use suicidedoors.com for parts and what not just need to know what i need and how its done all that kinda good stuff. and if its ganna be really expensive i just wanna drop it lower. i appreciate the help or ideas big time.
Your 4 link setup is really up to you. You got the reverse 4 link, the forward 4 link, the 3 link, you got setups to keep the stock gas tank location, setups that require a fuel cell. There are cantilever setups, bag over axle, bag on bar. Welding will be required for certain.
i fully understand all that....but dont know witch one to go with 4 link and bagg under and what not...i want to lay frame and then beable to go back to stock height or close to. other then that i have no idea. im in love with mini truckin and my truck just learning as i go i can weld not a problem..just dont know about parts and what not
I have a tri forward 4link with bag on bar. Gets well over stock height. I moved my tank to the rear. There are many different types aswell all depends on personal preferance
Here's the only one I have. Tri angulated 4link with bag on lower bars. Gets a good amount of lift an easy 11inches if not more
i recomend a forward four link and if big lift is wanted than bag on bars or some type of cantilever is the way to go
oww okay thanks alot. i was talking to a guy at suicide doors and he said there super lift set up wold work. but when i looked at the price its 1350. so my next question is do i need a 4 link. or any kinda link at all. ive seen trucks with out them before but dont know. also can i just do and all 4 airover shock set up i know i wont be layin frame but prices are adding up way out of reach. thanks for taking the time to help me out guys.
well cheap is either not safe or unreliable... a cheap bag job is nothing but headaches in the long run... a safe estimate to bag a yota is about 2000 in parts really... i know its not really that expensive but its safe to budget that for the just in case factor... if you have to get it installed profesionally they can charge 2500 and up for labor... the good thing is if you do it right it can ride better and be as reliable as stock suspension...
fully under stand were u coming from. but man 4 links are expensive and then would still have to get the rear bag kit to. did u make ur own or did u get a kit?. i want to be safe when i do this i just dont want to find a less expensive route. that why im thinking airshocks all around for now.......like u here people say low budget costumes i have a no budget customs hahaha. like the stuff ive done is cause i sold **** or did side work for extra cash.....im just getting bored with my truck right now thats why i reallyh wanna bag it?/air shocks. and is fliping the rear spings over bad?
I went Reverse 4 link. Definitely do not regret it. When it comes down to it, there isn't really any difference between the forward or reverse setups as long as we are talking "locating the axle". There is said to be a tunability difference- in that supposedly the squat cannot be adjusted. Here's a good article on link design..... "Rear Suspension - It's Not Rocket Science" My setup is simple, and retains the factory location of the fuel tank.
Bodybagged has a 4 link he was gonna sell me for $120 shipped he might still have it hasn't been welded yet so it would be easy to make your own personal setup
kay so a buddie of mine gots a 98 s10 mini truck like 10000 mini truck he ****ed the motor sanded his 4000 paint job and left it ima buy it for 800 should i strip it for parts or flip it?
buy strip for parts i mean like put them on my toy..........but the motors like 100 to replace....humm paint and body work i can do that i hate body work but its the first stuff i learned about cars hahah and im good at it now hhaahaha...will the parts work?
