you'll have alittle better ride with the link bars inplace of the leafs, but the road grater kit isn't going to ride any better, in any way, than going with that 3-link. That's a bag over the axle setup for ya. With the link bars, you'll notice the smoother ride when ridin' low, but back to crappy when you need lift. the only way you're going to achieve an all around smooth ride is with a "bag over link" setup and there's always the plus of getting more lift with this setup.....


yea that explained alot hehhe, looks liek the road grater would just be 500-600$ more for just the name IMO

i might do a bag ove rlink soon, but right now its more of getting rid of this monoleaf crap and getting a better all aroudn setup before the bed goes back on, cuz that is one heavy SOB!

i thought about putting a small hydro setup in or somethign to lift the bed up when needed since when the bed is on as mentioned before only way to access the bag parts or anythign is jackign it up and going under it

many many plans but looks like this one is solved now just gotta save up for those darn control arms :-\

either ART or SD, but they say call for pricing so im kinda scared on that LMAO, i havent seen any prices around yet or any feedback on their control arms so dunno if they even came out with them yet i do know there was a wait on them

my current front is good besides the bag but i figure if im doing majority of the suspension why not do it all at once

the SD arms are very nice, hella strong. they have came out with them, but I believe there is a short wait. the SD arms will set you back close to $800 shipping and all..... the ART arms are very nice also, and I think they will set you back somewhere in the range of $500 to $600..... Also, Silver Star Customs ( www.silverstarcustoms.com ) carry their own S-10 tubular control arms, aswell as Barely Legal Welding and Fabrication ( www.barelylegalfrabrication.com ) All the arms named above are super nice arms and will lay your truck out on the 20's like you want, no problem. The ART, SSC, BLF arms all run around $500 to $600 for the whole setup......

awesome, im gonna see what kinda budget i can do on the suspension and hopefully squeeze those SD arms in or one of the others, i can wait on the arms if they have a 1-3month wait or whatever so thats not a big deal, i plan on piling parts up for the winter and doing it through that i guess, then ONE day move on to bagging my blazer :D

where would you re-mount the shocks?

i talked to dave from sd and he said that the differential bracket might hit the top of the bridge and would need to be modded.
which if thats the case im just gonna step it up to the 5-link, yeah it requires some welding but would put my bags on the link,come with bags,shocks and new notches, wow i think i just answered my own question lol

we dont have no member project sections eh....? might have to turn this into a project thread :D
