Topic: 4 link it or marlin rear kit.....

[furrballs95]

i'm starting a new project here soon its a 91 excab and its gettin the marlin SAS but i'm not shure if i should spend the money on a custom 4 link or get the marlin rear kit?

4-linking it can be expensive and take alot more work but if done right is worth it in the long run.

 I would say 4-link it. 
You can always run coils untill you can afford coil-overs.

I wonder when Marlin will come out with a coiled suspension kit for a Toy pickup/4-runner.  That would be sick.

Depends on your timeframe and your math.
There is a ton of math involved in creating a 4-link and it will take quite a while.
You will get more than enough flex out of Marlin's rear kit for any wheeling I can think of.

Hmm, if you have the time and know how, link it... I bought cheaper rear springs instead of the nice Marlins to get me by for a while until I have a garage to do the rear link setup.  Captured coils should be fairly reasonable in terms of price if that is an issue.  If you aren't too good at math for your own design yu could check around and find a setup you like to use as a jump off point.
