    I need to change my rear bag setup. I've seen this setup on S10's and love it. I was wondering if anyone has tried it on a fullsize truck? I can fab this up quick and way cheaper than buying a KP canti setup. Pics would be great if anyone has one on a fullsize.

    Hard to tell does it have any bars on the front? If not I have seen a few people talking about a behind the axle link set up and it isn't very good because you get tons of wheel hop and other issues since the set up is back wards. I think for a daily driver and someone who doesn't hit the throttle much at all you should be OK but from what I have heard there are much better options for similar money.

    Deja-vu?

    Anyways, I was thinking of running one of these setups too. But the only thing I can think of that would hold it back is that the frame isn't wide enough to space the links far enough apart to keep sway in check.

    Yea i know you can get one for a mini truck at Suicide door. I just wanted to know if anyone has made and seen one on a fullsize truck. As far as wheel hop, I don't think it'll be a problem. It should run similar to KP's canti setup. I'm running a tri 4-link and need to change my bag setup. With my current link setup I can't do a bag on bar setup.

    I now see it has bars on front. That was what I was asking. The front bars should let it squat like it should. I don't see any problems with it.

    I ordered the parts to make it similar to the truck in this thread. Way cheaper than what SD sells the kit for.
