    Here is what I'm looking for...

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Air-...Accessories&hash=item1e5f4dc625#ht_1289wt_783

    It is going in my daily driver O.T. 69 D100 pick up.

    I can't seem to find info on this kit like how long the bars are. I have 36" from the center of the axle to the farthest mounting point on the frame.

    Just seeing if there are any dealers on here that can get it or a comparable kit for any cheaper? If not I will get the kit on ebag.

    That doesn't sound like a bad price to me for a 4-link, but you could probably piece one together for less.

    Kind of what I was thinking. I started to piece one together and the amount that I would save I would rather just spend to have it all in one package.

    Add the coilovers and you're talking the same price for most of the kits out there.

    I am using the welder series triangulated 4 link on the rear of my '57 Suburban, but I ended up making a wishbone for the top links. There's a video on the welder series website on their step notch page. I would recommend any of their products.

    You could not pay me the 200. plus dollars to make the brackets let alon supply the restof the stuff. I've drilled a lot of holes and its time for me, to have them drilled for me. Although I would go with S&W the Jegs stuff is made in China.

    I try to avoid Jegs and Summit as much as I can. As far as I'm concerned, they killed all the local speed shops that were full of real car guys that knew what they were talking about!

    I have been emailing back and forth today with Paul at http://www.welderseries.com and I have decided on what i am going to order tomorrow.

    I am getting this kit (welded with big bushings)....
    http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online ... universal/

    with these air bag brackets substituted for the shock brackets (welded with big bushings)...
    http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online ... ng-4-link/

    a pair of lower shock brackets...
    http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online ... unt-lower/

    and their universal panhard bar kit (not welded)...
    http://www.welderseries.com/blog/online ... rsal-rear/

    They give you the option of getting the parts pre-welded by them or welding them yourself. I decided to get most of it pre-welded just to save time on my end. If I wasn't up against a deadline (it's my daily driver and we are going to paint/flake it in the next few weeks) I would weld it all my self.

    :confused:Not sure what holes you are speaking of. If you say Competition Engineering is made in China, then ok.

    What "other stuff" do you need? I guess a guy could buy a kit with a crossmember, if he didn't want to source his own, and he was gonna make his own bag mounts so the coilover mounts aren't needed.

    I was refering to the 14 holes in each bracket and the 3" or 3-1/2" rear end hole. And a lot of Jegs branded items are made in China, not all, they will say "made in the USA" when American made.

    I honestly have no idea what you're talking about- You do realize the holes are already drilled for you, right? It's not $200 for paper cutting templates... Everything in that picture is what I just received this spring. Just like that. Good rod ends included.

    I'm not sure if you actually looked at the link i posted, but it's not the Jegs universal 4-link kit- it's from Competition Engineering. I didn't ask them if they were made in China, but I did speak with someone at CE and they had told me when they were gonna drop-ship it from them to me.
