quick and easy question.....is it necessary to have adjustable ends on the link bars? or can i get away with out them?

second part.....how many people are running non adjustable 4link bars?

i dont think you need to have it adjustable, IF YOU INSTALL IT RIGHT. sure its nice to have just incase.

If you set it up correctly you dont' need it adjustable. But why not have it adjustable. Spend a little extra cash and be able to adjust it perfectly or mess it up and have to cut it off to get it right. I make all my 4-links adjustable.

You can run adjusters on one pair of bars (top or bottom) if you're looking to save yourself a few bucks. If you take your time setting it up you probably won't ever have to adjust it but its nice to have the option built in if you should need to do a bit of tweaking in the future. Good luck with it. I always do both sets of bars with adjusters on one end because I like to put heims on the setups I build. Thats just my preferance though, some ppl use urethane or johnny joints instead of the heims. Good luck with it

yeah their not "required" but they are CHEAP insurance. i installed my first 4 link it was a SD parallel with every bar adjustable. I was almost certain i would have to make an adjustment but when i drove the truck it was straight as an arrow! i installed the bars with the ends about 3/4 of an inch threaded out so i could adjust either way. just make sure your bars are all the same length by putting a bolt connecting the two through the non adjustable ends then adjust the other ends till you can bolt them together also!

you dont need them if you set the 4 link up right, but it is easier to screw in some ends incase you find some vibrations and try to shim your drivetrain....

all the ones i have built, or helped build, and installed have all been non adjustable. just gotta set it up right. never hurts to go with adjustable ends though.

Werd. It gives you a little tolerance in your measurements as well.

If we are using all round bars we do all 4 adjustable. With bags on bars we use 2x2 non adjustables for the lowers.
