We are releasing a new product directed towards the performance truck guys. This is a short arm 4-link with geometry designed around -2" to 2.5" lifted applications. They can be used up to a 3.5" lift if needed. Anyone that drag races, sled pulls, or are otherwise looking for ultimate performance out of their frontend will notice massive improvements with this kit. There are a few things that separate these from anything else on the market.

The joints we are supplying with these kits are 1.25" shank QA1 monsters. They have a static load rating of 76,200 lbs!!! While a smaller heim would be more than sufficient and probably never fail, this large of a joint will offer a much longer service life and is able to better distribute the load of even the highest hp rigs.

The frame mount for these is gusseted in multiple areas to prevent any possible flex. They also allow for additional mounting hardware to be used if desired to increase strength. Installation is bolt in and uses existing holes (would require drilling if additional mounting hardware use is desired).

On the axle side, the endlinks are offset to allow as much clearance for tires and turning radius as possible. As with all of our links, we use 2" OD .250 wall tubing.

We are working on an additional shock mount to add an extra shock specifically for use on sled pulling trucks. We will update as progress is made with this.

These will come standard in a semi gloss black wrinkle powder coat.

Orders can be placed for these and production has begun on them. I expect to have 5 kits ready to ship by late next week. Introductory pricing on these is $899 which makes them a very competitive package at a great price point! If anyone has any questions, dont hesitate to ask!!

Kits can be ordered from our site at, http://www.pmfsuspension.com/2005-12-Ford-F-250350-Short-Arm-4-Link_p_76.html

Mink, still trying to work with Rancho to get some specs so we can build it around a specific shock.

Coxey, the geometry it is built around and type of joints used should eliminate all wheel hop. The additional shock mount will allow tuneability to the system for number track setups.

First impressions of this kit, it flat out works! Steering felt much better, handling was a significant improvement, and zero front hop doing some 4wd front launches. Front felt much more stable.

Installation was a breeze, each side took me about 15 minutes. Their is plenty of tire clearance so that is definitely not an issue. The quality of the kit, welds, heim joints is insane. I would never think twice about running it again. With my truck being lowered it still provides plenty of ground clearance.

Very nice. I know a truck that needs to update to an 05 front suspension and a 4-link.... I'll steer them towards this.

I can make a custom frame mount so that all they had to do was drill and bolt instead of mount the radius arm basket and then the 4-link to the radius arm mount. Wouldnt add much to the cost and would be cleaner.

Add $100, it would also come with the needed hardware. As far as manual or auto, I dont know. It would mount in the same location as the radius arm basket would have been.

Did you see the pics in the link I posted where the manual trans crossmember doesn't allow the radius arm bracket to mount? I was wondering if you could make something to work around that. Would save me from making a different crossmember....:cool:


Driver side only.

Sorry, I hadnt looked at the thread. Nothing you can really do other than make a crossmember. Modifying the 4-link bracket to not interfere would render the bracket too week, same goes for the crossmember. If you wanted, I have a fabricated crossmember that would be 90% complete. You would just need to do some minor cutting and drilling to it and locate it where ever needed. It would be intended to bolt to the side of the 4-link bracket.

Not on the site, it would be a combination of a few different components from different kits. Price with the crossmember would be $1100 for everything
