[broncomitch]

what all did it come with?

how dose it do on the road?

hows the flex?

what is the difference between the,System T: Monster Suspension with Stage 4-Link and the Stage 4-Link Suspension?

do you have any pics?

how easy/hard was it to install?

will it be easier to make my own setup?

Check out the blwngsket build thread on norcalbroncos.com. His four link kit install starts on page 17. There is an awful lot of information and pictures of his garage install.

Chris on here has it. Just search for username: Chris. I talked to him this summer and he seemed to like it.

There was a guy at the BYOB that had it installed...pretty slick. I'm unsure if he's a member on here or not.

i checked it out on norcalbronco


seems like it just dose not flex that much.......

maybe im just used to being around rigs that have 15'' of travel?


but what im shooting for is a good 4link setup that handles good on the road that can flex like a SOB

i saw genright has a kit also, but the james duff kit seems to have more in the kit even tho there is only $196 price difference.

Its much cleaner and more precise to make your own when its all said and done. Generic kits mean generic performance.

Well, I go as far as to say "Generic kits mean generic performance" but you could build a cleaner kit by sourcing your own parts. Performance is awesome and its a very heavy duty kit. I love the lower link bar and is actually the exact same as their extended arms (cage arms), same bend and everything, just a different end. The only things I don't like is the inboard shock set up, but is great for flex, and the rear truss. The upper links are to damn high which probably is good for the triangulated "y" affect, but doesn't allow you to move the axle back more then an inch w/o contacting the rear cross member. I had several hours making the rear truss fit to get my pinion angle correct. All in all, a great bolt on kit and will take you and a buddy 2 full days to install, mostly grinding off the stock brackets.

Here's the post from my Duffs install. They have made some minor changes to the kit since.

I think it flexs pretty good......

Great picture Chris.

 

[broncomitch]

thats the only pic i have seen with the duff 4link that has some real flex!

i could live with that.


it might be cheaper to make my own or pice it togauther.....but the duff kit seems like a good deal if it can give that amount of flex out of the box.
