5 link Vs. ???

[4X4 shorty]

Yeah I'm doin a coil conversion on a 47' running a 3.8 and auto I m just working out what link setup to run I've looked at the hilux of luky 4X4 customs and its nice and simple. then theres the standed 80 series setup very simple maybe even run a X link but hav heard they are over rated ?? not sure. then there is a 5links setup which flex well and I hav heard hav poor in road manners??

So whats ur thoughts Its not a daily driver and fabricating isnt an issue as Im and engineer but just trying to work out the best way of goin

5 link bud, the x link is too ova rated, the 5 link gives you a lot more flex im am just about to do it to my 80

if you can do it, the triangulated 4 link shits all over a 5 link

3 link panhard also works well i have that in the front and rear of my bundy

I imagine you would have problems fitting a 4link, but the 3 link + panhard is easier to fit, anything you do will handle as well as it is set up

its only a matter of making another cross member in front of the trans one.

i spose its not for everyone though.


I just like the physics of the tri4link

agreed, I think a 4link gives you the best of both worlds, but it depends on the engine and chassis and lift etc, it no good putting a badly set up 4 link in coz that would will fit if you can get a well set up 3link panhard of 5 link set up

agreed tiny

my home built cross link flexs quiet well in my 80, and drives like a std 3 link when u lock it off.

To put it into perspective they are 38's that its dropping below the sills..
Shits all over the std 3 link set up...
and my arms are flipped to, which im sure does help a fair bit

My 5 link handles grouse on the road and flexes nicely off road too.
I cheated and had Cheezy Racing do the work, the day it was finished I drove 800kms to Eden .
