i need some price ideas on a 4 link setup.
i think for now i would just like to see some with coil overs to help with traction and then later on i wanna be able to upgrade to bags.

you may want to consult a chassis engineering firm for your
specifications on the four links. pricing can vary from $150 to
$850 depending on necessity of drivabilty, comfort and adjustable
ease.
or consult the air bag companies for there recommendation if
you are later installing an air-ride. not all four-links are air ride
adaptable.

:word: if you can weld a suicidedoors link setup would be the way to go. Just buy the mounts needed for coilovers.

Get an ART weld in link setup, that's what I have on the 83 and it was simple to weld in.

I have just built exactly what you're asking about - I have a 4-link with panhard and custom torsion setup with rear outboard coil-over mounts built specifically for handling... I made sure that the coil-over mounts were built in such a way that I could swap in shockwaves with zero effort or problems. (incidentally, front is built for same ease of swap with custom tubular upper/lower control arms). for ease of installation, the ART bolt-in 4-link that is setup for shockwaves is a direct fit for coil-overs, for best price a universal 4-link kit can be had (as already mentioned) for a couple hundred dollars and mounts added for another $50-$100. coil-overs can be found from lots of different companies, but Carrera sells a chrome shock/ chrome spring setup for around $300, you'll need theshocks valved for a truck rear (light) and about a 225 lb spring.
