No not a 2-link debate.. i DON'T want to lay frame!!!! i want a 2 link with bag brackets and a panhard bar and firestone 2600 bags... i will bag it but only with a c-section. this is my everyday driver and i just want it to ride smoother and a little lower. and i am only runnin small enough line to put shrader valves in. it's just a comfort thing! i already have a show truck i just want air ride on my full size for ride quality!!!

can i get any help???

For a daily driver you don't want a 2 link. You will not get any side to side articulation. Ladder bars/2 links are meant for drag racing.

easiest way is to buyyou some bushings from suicide doors and get a metal hole saw thats how i made mine.

im daily driven on a 2link and i have no problems. but basicly get some bushings, some 2x2 or 3x3 and some tubing for the bushings to sit in, and have a nice afternoon fabricating, 2links are very straight foreward to build, perfrct for the novice fabricator

i dunno how bad the ride is, but the one on my brothers FSC was built in about 1hr, using factory leaf hangers and mounted to the axle with u-bolts and for the bushing, we took leafsprings,cut the bushings off the end and welded em to the 2*2 we used.

the ride isn't that bad but i have already had a bagged truck and i know how much better it is than stock... i plan on using the stock hanger and bold it under the axel. but what type of places can i get this and what about the panhard bar!!!

I love the 2 links are not good for a daily driver. If i remember correctly are the springs that come on a factory truck and car mounted the same way. The bushing mounts to the hangers and then mounts solid to the axle with u-bolt. I think that Ford, GM, Dodge, Toyota, Nissan, and all the rest of the auto industry thought after spending millions of dollars developing new suspensions setups of the years that they were not a good setup for a daily driver it would have been changed by now. I mean who else would know but a couple of guys who have done some installs on some trucks over someone who have built hundreds of thousands of vehicles.

the problem with that is springs flex and bend 2x2 does not thats where you loose the flex if was such a great idea why dont stock rides come with 2 links with coils? coil's are cheaper to make than leafs. but any ways back to the topic question www.baganddrag.com we have the bag brackets, bushingends, pandhard ect. that you would need
