I would like to four link the rear of my XJ.

Those that have done it, can you post some pics?

 

working on a ladder bar set up with a track bar now for mine....just a heads up there is alot of thought that has to go into it for a properly working system and you better have alot of faith in your fab skills....pics to come as soon as the install starts

 

i do have lots of faith in my fab skills. im a welder. lol. i just wanted to see what you guys have. i have something drawn up, but just want to see some already done. pics are nice looking forward to seeing them.

 

First, there are months, even years, worth of reading on how to design and tools to use to figure out proper geometry. If you are unaware of the tools and requirements to build one, you might try a kit and weld it in.

Second, if you spend an hour reading here you will find this type of inquiry is never responded to as you wish it would. If you have a plan, it is best to elaborate on your needs and how you plan to tackle the task.

There is also no "one" answer. There are MANY different ways and geometries to a link suspension, and no one is superior to the rest. There are 'better' than the rest, but they all are a balance of performance trade offs.

Spend some time wallowing on pirate 4x4.

The down in dirty is to get 4 links, and put them where they fit, but some basic structure and placement knowledge will be required. Look for some of the long threads in Gen Tech on Pirate and be prepared to filter out the BS.

 

thanks. i guess i will just answer and show pics to my own thread here. i will build it from my drawing that i have. a friend and i just did a solid axle swap on his sonoma and did a 3 link on it. it works perfect, so i will get this going; then this will answer others' questions without going on different web sites to get the answer. I am not trying to sound rude by any means, i just hate it when i have to jump around on different sites to get an answer.

 

Pirate 4x4 is more fab friendly, this is a semi beginner site, you wont find much here. Just search on pirate, dont post, they arent fond of new members.

I like pirate a little better personally.

 

Clayton makes a kit for it

 

yeah, i seen clayton's. looks pretty good. i don't really like the idea of cutting away at the unibody. with my design, that is not necessary.

 

I dont think many guys run 4 links on this forum.....diesel was right pirate would be the place to go for that ...almost all of the cherokees over there are linked...maybe check some of their write ups over there but what kinda design did you come up with?
