    what is the ideal linked set up for an air bagged rear suspension. ive looked at 4 link, triangulated 4 link, and 3 links but havent seen much on using them with bags. also could someone school me on calculating a linked setup?
     
  2. think about it.

    imagine the setup(the one you want to use) then add the bags on top of the axle between the frame........simple. id say 4 link.
     
  3. theres not an "ideal" one really, mostly has to do with space. What are you bagging?

    You want to keep the upper and lower link as close to the same length as possible so you have the least amount of pinion angle change thru the arc of the suspension travel.

    what are you trying to bag? universal 4 link kits are abundant and some are best for certain applications e.g. trucks/cars.
