4 link parallel bar

[hd16]

i have a 1977 gmc sierra granda, i'm going to put a 4-link in what im not sure of is, can i put a narrowed 9inch ford. there is a 7 differance in lenght, i want to put 4-link on outside of frame not inside, will i have clearce enough for 50 tires thanks for any help

My four link on my 84 is on the outside of the frame and with the factory 10 bolt rear, I have about 1 inch between the link mounts and the inside of the u bolt plates. If your installing a narrower rear axle, you will probably have to install the four link on the inside of the frame.

do you know how much the ride will change with the 4-link on inside frame

Mounted inside or outside the frame the ride won't change. Any ride change will be due to different shocks, coil overs and spring rates. I went with airbags over springs for both height adjustment and ride quality. Although adjustable, spring assisted shocks have never been my friend when it comes to adjustability without rebuilding the valving, amount of oil and nitrogen charge if applicable. Air bags are much simpler and can be adjusted as you drive. If I were to go full out and desire to road course my square (my original intention on my build)....I would have gone with Ride-Tech adjustable coil overs. At a cost of about $3500-$5000 for their complete setup....it made more sense to use bags since my build went a different direction.

I thought so too, but when I called you sister, she said that she was busy.

Fat chicks tend to stay on your side of the country since they can handle the colder weather with their added Insulation. It is really a shame that Barnum and Bailey went out of business. Most people believe that it was due to the economy when in fact it was due to the shortage of tent material since East coast fat girls think that they can wear bathing suits.

Do you have a pic of "super ghetto cinderblocks" ?? I'm thinking they might be kinda like adobe bricks, but I may be wrong. It's been quite a few years since I lived on the East coast.
