I also taught him how to put in 5min of hard work and then spend 15min staring and admiring what you have done...

Last summer I decided to change my suspension-
Front- marlin 4" springs with Daystar bumpstops.
Rear- four link with fox air shocks.
                                                            
 
Now she sits a little lower and a little longer.  :driving:

No I didn't try little sluice,  next time. The four link works great. I am going to three link the front this winter.

Sweet. Have you noticed any binding in the system or weird quirks? Anything you'd change if you'd build your own?

I don't really like the air shock set up that I am running right now, I am going to switch to ORis or coilovers, As far as  Binding or weird quirks I run the set up as low as possible and it works great. If I were to build my own I would try and get the links arms little flatter but other that that I really like it

If you did it again, would you still have done the rear 4link first or gone with a front 3link?

I would have done it the same. I kept the springs up front to help with road manners but she is going to be trailered more than driven on the road, if at all.
