4 link systems

[NotStock]

A radius arm/3-link setup acts like a sway bar in its design. This lessens body roll and makes for a little tighter steering response. 4-links generally wont have any bind in them and will thus allow the suspension to act more freely. Thus creating a softer ride.

I always have run 4 links cause i like how they look better. My last truck steering was a little sloppy.

You can increase castor a little to help the truck track better but it will still have a little bit "looser" feel than a 3-link/radius arm setup.

 

[josh@thedieselcartel]

F-It ill just stick with what looks better! Form over Function all day!

What about one of your replacement drag links? That tighten it up at all?

 

[NotStock]

Yes, that will tighten up the steering a little regardless of what type of link system you are running.

We carry Icon and Pure's 4 link kits and also Pure's new replacement arms.

PM me if I can get you a price..better price than some other arms mentioned.

Pre '08 trucks using a 4 link will have more sway as the earlier trucks have a smaller sway bar. You may want to upgrade to a aftermarket bar.

Could you just put an 08^ bar on the 05-07 trucks then?

 

[OBSWIZ]

Could it be used yes but it would require modding to fit it better to just get a larger aftermarket bar. But try it first as many customers love the flexibility.

Figured id post a couple pics of my PMF 4 link. Rides great. Smoother than my old three link actually.

 

[OBSWIZ]

Pictures of the new quick adjustable arms..no more having to remove a link to adjust Castor.

how much for either the four lionk or three link ?

 

[NotStock]

Both our 4-link and 3-link systems are $899.

 

[BKOESTER26]

how much of a difference is there in steering and handling between 3 vs 4 honestly link really bad?

 

[NotStock]

No, its not a huge difference but worth noting so the customer can make an informed decision as to whats best for their particular needs.

 

[BKOESTER26]

so if i went to 4 link then i would have to beef up the trac bar your saying? i really enjoy the look of the four link but what to do with gaining back the control ?

If you were unhappy with the additional body roll the 4-link caused an upgraded sway bar would be your best bet as Cary had mentioned. Hellwig amoung others make a nice OEM replacement bar.

I've noticed a "slight" difference in body roll. I'm gonna go with a Hellwig too.

Subscribed. like that 4 link look for sure. Is that 4 link compatible with a 4 1/2" lift?

Trevor will chime in, but I believe the long arm 4-link is recommended over 4".

What all can be done to tighten up steering if sticking with 4 link? Red head steering box and PMF drag link upgrade. Anything else?
