Check this out yall!

Guys this looks like a 4-5 link to me!!!!!!!!!! on a STS 1000HP Viper truck!
 
1st post looks more like a ladder bar setup, looking at the adjusting nut system on the lower link. Looks pretty trick, where did the picture from the 3rd post come from?
 
I dont know but the wiring looks like billy bob did it in the back yard:D

but I'm working on a ladder bar three link that will basically take the place of the leaf springs, use air bags, and ya choice of shocks, leave the fuel tank in place and the exhaust, and be a relatively easy install,
hope to have it done for the panama GTG;)

maybe along with tubular control arms:D

And on that note why wouldn't the above set up work on our trucks. The axle tube is the same diameter as the v6 qc. The suspension is exactly the same in the rear with better shocks. Why won't this work.


This system isn't much different then the 4-link set-up with the coil overs on the 1st post,only real diff is switch the coil overs out for bags and the pan hard bar is on the bottom in post 1 and on top with the bags, I ran almost exactly the same air bag set up when I had my Dakota R/T show truck,it was an AirRide Technologies kit I used.Worked good ,NO wheel hop!:rock: :burnout:

Hey Stinker,Have you decided on what bags you will be using?Slam specialty bags?

This is what the 4 link looks like on my Silver SRT-10

These pics were taken without the coilovers and before powder coating, and before the Mark Williams brakes, 40 spline axles ect.

The axle tubes on the SRT-10 RCs & QCs are 3 1/2 " in diameter.
All other Dodge 1500 trucks are 3".

This picture was not a 4 link, it is/was a ladder bar set up......
 
THAT IS MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLAR WORTH OF WORK!

THE AXLE SADDLES ARE THE SAME SIZE FOR MY QC AS MY BUDDIES V6. MYBE THEY ONLY FIT DIFFERENTY IN THE POCKET OF THE SADDLE

TIME O BREAK OUT THE CALIPERS
