    Everyone else has a BS thread so...yeah [​IMG]

    Ask any questions people are having about a SAS, Me and I'm sure others will fill you in without flaming. (Like pirate4x4/Ttora) But I can't blame them.

    Good place to ask BS questions you'd get flamed for on TTORA and Pirate.:D

    What are the pros/cons of 3-link vs 4-link?

    Not true, a cv has more contact points there for making it stronger than a u-joint. RCV makes the strongest axles pretty much... $$ (CV)

    3 link, you use bigger bars, one less bar obviously, but you're gunna need to run a panhard bar especially in the rear if you plan to drive it I think the 3link with a panhard has less bump steer to it. 4 link is better due to its simplicity and great articulation.. Theres more too it I suppose.. 4link can be triangular or parallel as well, 2 different set ups

    Good to know, simplicity and better articulation is what I'm after. 4-link it is!:D


    Stole this pic from Pirate. The tire size & brand, as well as the ride height is what I'm aiming for.

    Go big or go home, right?:eek:

    Another BS question. Is it worth the effort to link the rear or just stick to leaf packs? I don't see very many trucks with linked rears so I'm curious.:confused:

    What are you planning on doing with it? Links are superior over leafs by a long shot. Leafs are good for DD unless a link setup is done correctly with the right valving. Leafs don't flex as good and are easily destroyed on the trail.
