SUICIDEDOORS 5 LINK

what are ur goods and bads about the suicide 5 link tell me what u think about it?

i don't like how short the bars are...

box the frame rails in if you use the 5 link.... the stock ones too flimsy and the bed will look alll drooped down when you lay it out.

i've rode on the 5 link with a friend for 800 miles 1 way and my only complaint is it sways when you try to lift it up high enough to drive down rough higways.

I don't shop at wallmart it's bad for the economy.

haha wtf? thats a new one. like seriously..how does the 5 link make your box sag..maybe you fucked up the notch?

anyways...Having done 4 SD 3/5 link installs...CONS: Short bars cause the axle to travel at a pretty extreme arc throughout motion. Pinion angle stays within a good working range, but the arc will force the driveshaft into the carrier bearing (ex cab) or transmission (reg cab). Solution..spend the couple hundred bucks and shorten your driveshaft 1/2" to 3/4"

Shock Mounts and Plastic Tank Trucks... if you have a truck with a plastic gas tank, you will have clearance problems between the shock and gas tank. Even with a TON of trial and error postitioning the shock crossmember, the ones we have done still touched the tank at max lift. Its very minimal..but it is a problem. SOLUTION: metal tank out of an older model S10.

The short arc of the bars also tends to pull the wheel towards the front of the wheelwell when the truck is layed out. Nothing major, but it isnt ideal.

PROS; The SD 5 link is the best S10 KIT on the market. Quality components, good lift and ride quality, relatively easy install, and most of the negatives can be avoided with a bit of work. It blows the KP 6 link out of the water in overall looks, as well as functionality (KP link gets sick pinion angle change, and the front lower bar ends drag).

If you are stuck on getting a kit, the SD 5 link is the way to go. But keep in mind, IF you have the fab skills, you can do a fuel cell and a custom 4 link with the bags on the lowers for about the same total cost.

SD builds quality parts for a good price. Just cuz everyone shops there doesnt mean you shouldnt support them...maybe they are doing something right? They started out like everyone else. Their quality parts and customer service got them to where they are...

they build quality, but they also like to market their shit as better saying bigger is better, etc. etc. pulling noobs since 99% of them have s10's and everyone else into believing if its less then 1/4 its pos and they should nt shop anywhere else.

i have an s10 but i have part from SD on my truck, front cups.

SD has become a place to buy anything bolt on, its AIM with customer service. (in the example, everything you can think of of being bolted on)

not just customer service, but quality parts.

Comparing SD to Aim is a joke.

read the parentheses, it states b/c everything is bolt on. do we need to teach people how to read again?
