i want to bag it and eventually get some shiny 20's for it.but first, what all do i need to get this thing on the ground. i'm thinking, either a 2-link, or reverse triang. 4 link, 2" drop spindles and basic 1/2" bag kit with all the brackets and an 8" notch. what shocks does everyone recommend? am i missing anything? this will be my first mini(i had a civic and a 3rd gen. camaro) thanks, fellas!!!

actually, that's where i plan on ordering most of my stuff. i'd like to have a part in building my truck instead of taking it to a shop. it won't be my daily driver, so it can sit in my garage in pieces while being worked on.

Potter....i never said i didn't know how to do it. i just wanna know what is the best way to lay it out. i've been into minitrucks since 1999, i've just never had a minitruck because of a lack of funds. BTW i live in Altus (SW OK) and i like Oklahoma. we all have our preferences

dont go with a 2 link or a reverse 4 link! go with a forward 4 link or 3link , read "Biomax's 4link article" sticky in the "suspension" forum before you decide on anything! when you get ready to order check us out, just click my signature! good luck buddy!

yea if u dont have alot of knowledge about suspentions and welding skills that wont risk a bus load of babies then yea go for it. alot of people forget then when building there trucks they are working on a 3000 pound hunk of metal fly'n down the highway at 70 mph. only do it urself if ur capable
