This stye suspension is great for big fat tires and straight lines. And it really should be called a 5 BAR -- because you need a PANHARD BAR (the 5th bar) in order to keep the rear end stable from side to side. Whereas the triangulation of a triangulated 4 bar doesn't need the Panhard bar for location.


I certainly don't see ANY reason at all for the "harder to install" comment. ZERO - NADA - ZIP.... if a guy can measure - cut - weld - understands SQUARE - PARALLEL - LEVEL etc -- They should be fine.
I agree completely Greg. We used all the individual components of the AME triangulated 4-Link in the chassis I built for the truck. Some strings, level, square, Plumb Lines etc. No problem.
