what size links should i use for the rear, are there brackets ready to weld on that i can buy or do i have to fabricate them myself, and what shocks do some of you guys recommend for 4 linking, if anybody has ideas post up thanks

If you don't know this stuff you are probably not ready for advanced suspension and chassis design. Keep searching on pirate for everything you need.

For your 4 link needs try blue torch fab or a comparable company that offers tabs and brakets. There is alot to know about link suspensions and pirate 4x4 has some good info. Do your homework!

  You can make your own brackets or buy them, what is the truck/Suv u plan on doing this on. Is it for alot of street and a little offroad, or strictly offroad. A little more info will get u more info in return!!!

you have a lot of research to do before you start building a link suspension. search for the "4 link calculator"  and "link suspension for dummies" on pirate. read the link suspension for dummies thread, then read it again and maybe again then if you start to understand what goes into to designing a suspension, you can start playing with the 4 link calculator.
 For the brackets and tabs BTF http://www.bluetorchfab.com/ has everything you need. They also have all the other parts to build a link suspension, rod ends, tube adaptors, joints etc.

try trailgear they have a three link set up already done for $1100 and it is beafy as hell and a ton of flex

[eazy]

don't use tg they stole the designs for most of there products from other shops thats bad buisness

ok lets not turn this into another tg vs. marlin/other thread.

I will give trail gear credit for designing their linked setup.  I'm not saying I will support them, I am just saying that it wasn't a stolen design.

For someone that hasn't done a linked suspension and wants to get one I'd recommend finding a company that offers one right now.  Go check out shaffers offroad

heres a link go check it out.  Its a good start if you want a linked toyota

This doesn't need to turn into a backing thread, I agree.  However, TG only tested their product for one weekend.  Keep that in mind when you pay $1,100 for a system that has not been through most types of situations.

I agree. I dont see how they can sell a product to the public that has not been fully tested. Talk about juming the gun to make a quick buck........ I have a feeling its gonna come back to bite them in the ass
