Ride Tech 4 Link Rear Suspension Install

[@DJbeats.]

Very good video 👍 will be using it to do mine. Thank you. From Edinburgh UK Scotland

Thank you for watching!

Whys the track bar so short? It would be good to be able to run both exhaust pipes over the passenger side axle tube but now the coil over is directly in the way. It seems that the track bar almost all the way to the other frame rail would be best

Crazy in my 49 pontiac the suspension was so advanced for its age didn't have 4 link but it would be less work than this to install

[@jerrylittle2726]

This is what I need but I'm tubbing my avalanche for wider tires so my question is that I'll have to mount a cross frame to bolt it to plus I would not put in a bar that makes tires go side to side put it triangular bars keep them straight

Question.. So you tack weld the rear end to the bottom of the frame and installed the 4 link.. I’m assuming that will be your ride weight after the c-notch is installed..? How did you find your ride weight was going to be right at the bottom of the frame?

[@SummitRacing]

The benefit of a weld in 4-link is you can place the ride height wherever you want it. It's critical to make sure the differential housing is square in the vehicle before final installation. Tack welding the rear end in place (no matter what ride height you decide) once you have it adequately located to your desired ride height keeps it from moving during suspension set-up. Setting your ride height may require some spacers, or trimming of the frame, depending on your goals. In this video, the installer wanted the ride height at the bottom stock frame height.

@@SummitRacing gotcha… yeah I’m going through it as we speak.. learning a lot as I go.

[@ratsrodsgarage461]

Do you have a 36" long bar kit?

[@mattrehak7746]

Do you sell a c notch kit like was installed? How much of a notch was installed? When measuring, I saw the centerline of the axel but they didn't elaborate on what they measured to for the front to back, only the side to side. Can that be any distance as long as it is the same on both sides?

[@SV-pt9qw]

Hello , now when you centered the rear ( side to side ) . Did you take in account the install of the 3rd member ( with the offset pinion ) ? With the rear centered & the pinion offset , if engine/trans is centered , won't driveshaft be tracking to an angle ( from center of trans over to offset pinion )?

[@SummitRacing]

You are correct. However, on many vehicles, the engine is offset to the passenger side of the vehicle, matching the offset of the pinion. However, if the centerline of the engine/transmission is directly in the center of the vehicle, the rear end should also be modified to center the pinion. This will require shortening axle tubes and ordering new axles. Fortunately, there’s a good chance you’re going to do this, anyway, in order to run a wider/wheel tire combo. Finally, as they say in the video, measure three times and weld once!

@@SummitRacingYes , unfortunately the Custom shop ( whom I thought knew his shit ) DId Not . Hense my situation . He no longer has the shop & I will be taking it to a Chassis shop to be corrected Hopefully . I'm only out 1" to the pass side .

[@woodrowwilson1506]

Is this a universal kit or one for the truck?

[@SummitRacing]

Hi Woodrow Wilson, That is a universal kit. Thank you for watching!

[@woodrowwilson1506]

Thanks for the head up! I'll be buying it soon

[@SummitRacing]

Woodrow Wilson Awesome! Let us know if you have any additional questions!

[@adamlargent1127]

How do u find th center of the rearend on frame

[@jerrylittle2726]

Mark it first

Thanks for watching, Sterling!

[@austinwilson3304]

Would this work for a 4x4

[@forlife7103]

It's not 4-link
