man if fit like a glove, It was super easy. Jason at SD did a crazy job on this thing. I got a lot of $ in this frame and motor so far. Hardest thing was for me to get clean welds on the frame notch for the power rack. If someone has a C10 I would recommend this over a Z any day. Anyone know of a good place to get my driveshaft lenghtend?

I had to have a fullsize, after having a static ranger and s10 I needed something bigger, It's gonne be awhile before I finish it. It's getting built from ground up. I just droped 6 g's in the last 2 months on just the motor, trans and frame, and still haven't 4 linked the back yet. How did you link the back of your truck, I've seen many done but just trying to find some diffrent ways. I'm thinking about doing a X for the upper bars, and the middle of it have a superpiviot joint to hit sides.

i didnt do this truck. the guy i got it from had already done a reverse 4 link im not a big fan of them but i can honestly say it rides smooth and its never gotten squirley on me its bagged on bars. when you ridin low it rolls smooth like a caddy. what you have to worry about on a reverse 4 link is say u are hauling ass and all of sudden you have to nail the brakes. the momentum shifts the weight and then you can actually swap the rear end from the center of bed to the back of your bed kinda crazy but i dont drive like a bad out of hell so i just cruize.

If you are looking for something good and easy to put on you cant go wrong with a KP 6 link. It has a bad ass ride and good lift. It has one of the smoothest rides I have seen.

yea i would definately go with the kp six link the geometry is already figured out it will ride the best. u dont have to worry about testing and tuning the suspension. awesome lift also

yeah I dont plan on spending $1700 on a rear link, i would buy the new SD rear link their building. I think it's price at a G. I still got time to do it first.
