Do you want to four link the rear to run air ride suspension or coilovers? Need to know what you are going to use the truck primarily for.

Well your truck is already 4 link in the front with panhard. So I assume you looking to built a 4-link for the rear of your truck. Are you thinking about a triangulated 4-link or a 4 link with pahard bar? What are you planning to run for suspension? Coil-overs? Air bags? coil springs? or maybe a combo. We built lots of custom suspension systems and I will be glad to help

not trying to take the tread but ive got a 96 model 2500 and im wanting to 4link the rear, im thinking about connecting the top links to were the front leaf spring is hung, and run the lower up to about the rear of the cab on the frame, and run a panhard bar from the frame pasenger side frame rail to the driver side axle, what would be a good size tubing to use for this also that typoe of rod ends? what size? also, i have air bags on the truck already i was going to use just them for now then get (2) front coil springs and mount them on the inside of the frame rails one on each side. do you think this would work?

I am in the process of putting a 4 link with airbags in the rear of my 89 square fender chevy. It started out as just front air suspension to cope with the weight of the cummins , but it sort of got out of hand. All my stuff comes from a local shop ridetech.com

I'd go for it. I always wanted to bag my 95 12v std cab 3500 dually. MAN, that thing rode rough in the rear
