I wanna do a 4-link rear for drag racing purposes... Any input as to simplicity and function is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

'82, SWB, 2WD...

 

really simple..if u can measure weld and cut metal then ur all set bro...

 

if your using it for drag racing, make sure to use a forward 4 link. it will properly force the rearend to the ground under acceleration.

parallel 4links with a panhard seem to be the norm for racing since you'll run coilovers and the axle has very little travel.

 

Any pics for reference?

 

also alot of guys use mounts that have mulitple holes on the upper and lower. to add adjustability to the geometry. as well as an adjustable end on atleast one end. to change the length which changes various geometry.

 

Check out eBay for the four link that's has the tabs with all the holes

 

if you are gonna drag it i would do a good forward face 4 link, relocate the gas tank to the rear. since i placed my tank back there the truck feels better balanced and definately can launch..... but i also have the rear locked

if you dont wanna relocate the gas tank, you can do 2 forward links and a panhard bar, or 2 forward links and an upper wishbone offset link.

Basic drag racing setup.

I'd have to narrow my frame for that type of setup correct?

I was thinking of doing something like the 4X guys use... Triangulated type?

 

if your gonna drag race it a parralel with a panhard.. will work best, the 4xs use triagulated for more articulation, wich you dont need going straight..

 

Amy pictures? Anyone know biggest rear drag radial in a 15" that will fit the rear of a 1986 2wd? No frame mods.
