Locating 4-Link-

We are now locating rear end, and placement of 4-Link.

The upper bar for the 4-Link will tie into the main hoop.

Here is where we discovered our first issue.

All 4-Link bars are 18″ long. I screwed in all rod ends with lock nuts. I made all rods 21 1/2 center to center. The bottom of the rear bracket is to be Parallel with the ground and the front edge of the front bracket is suppose to be perpendicular to the ground, meaning 90 degrees upright. Directions show achieving a 2-3 degree downward pitch on the lower bars, with both brackets landing in their respectable positions. NOT A CHANCE! I roll rear bracket to parallel to the ground and top of front bracket pitches forward and vice versa.

Seems the only solution would be to take out a 1/2″ out of the upper bars. I will be contacting the manufacturer of the 4-Link for some insight. Even though they say ride height varies measurements, there is still no way to achieve 2-3 degrees down on lower bar, while keeping brackets in position placing all equal length bars in the marked holes. I will post my findings and solution soon. We even stumped the “Dougernaut”….so, I’m going to have to use my mobile shout out.
