naa. its a fairly common setup. hes using bag brackets that look like this:
http://*******************/bag-bracke...der-axle-lower
you can see that hole you're talking about right on there too.

i have also seen guys running their own custom lower links into these brackets, but still, its a bag over/under axle setup.. not a 5 link.

ruffrida2005 · 05-13-2011, 03:45 PM

Ok I see it now. I've thought about doing mine like that before, but wasn't sure about the ride since it's a BOA set up. Then I've thought about building it like the SD 5 link that's set up like that but with lower bars. I'm just not sure what I'm going to do. I was gonna run it like the extensive set up with bag offset, but after I talked to Jason (SD). he told me about the twisting. I've talked to other people that have that set up and said they dont have any problem with it.

Hey guys this is the ultimate system for S-10's. At $1075.00 it's a bargain with no guessing. I installed lots of them. Great ride and lots of lift. And bolt on.
Here's all of them.

This is the S-10 one for $1075.00

daverod · 05-14-2011, 09:20 AM

I posted these cantilever links before. I guess you didn't see it.

daverod · 05-14-2011, 09:35 AM

Must have been when I was doing my 66. The difference between the kit I put on my 66 and this kit are huge. Just in the size difference. Still looking for some rims. I just want somthing that will work for now. The stuff I have now is the right height 29" I just need to find some rims with a 0 off set and 4 75 spacing? All the junk yards just list the rims by make and model.

ruffrida2005 · 05-14-2011, 07:29 PM

yeah the KP kit is alright. SD also has a nice kit around the same price.

daverod · 05-15-2011, 12:46 AM

I guess for the price I paid I got what I wanted. I wanted cheap,dirty and easy. I need to get my bed on so I can see what kinda rims I need. Mounted the bags and made it go up and down. Bags clear by about a 1/2". Put my cam in my engine and blasted and painted my oil pan.

ruffrida2005 · 05-15-2011, 12:57 PM

Pics or it didn't happen.

daverod · 05-15-2011, 01:11 PM

oh it happened.

daverod · 05-15-2011, 01:22 PM

I'm thinking the saddles weld to the axle? Still need to mount my panhard bar. Not going to do to much till I get my bed and cab back on.

ruffrida2005 · 05-15-2011, 03:01 PM

I would weld them. That way your axle cant twist in the u-bolts.

Layedoutsonoma91 · 05-15-2011, 07:18 PM

Mine was a 3 link kit from *****************, with bag behind and under brackets. Basically bag over axel. The bags are just out of the way. I really like suicidedoors kits, hey just take too damn long to make. 4-6 weeks is the wait time. If your in no hurry they are nice. If you don't plan on using the s10 gas tank i would go with a universal 4 link. All forward facing. I wouldn't go 2 link unless i had to. They are cheap and easy and may work, but they do mess with the pinion angle. If you ntice all the cover trucks and the trucks that have those never get driven. So they don't even know if its reliable or not.

Strodder · 05-15-2011, 07:41 PM

KP's Triangle 4 link for s-10 works perfect on a s-10 frame.

$599.00 and you put your bags over the axle.

daverod · 05-15-2011, 09:44 PM

I guess it all depends what you want to do. I don't think the pinion angle will effect me much. I'm going to set it up for my ride height. I'lll always be at that height or on the ground. I had to wait 4 weeks for this kit. That seems to be the norm.

I'll put this one to test because I'm going to drive it a lot. If it sucks or breaks I'll change it. If once a year I have to put new bushings in the arms no biggie.

daverod · 05-21-2011, 05:41 PM

I'm guessing my cab needs to go back more? Guess I have to get rid of the horn things. Don't know if I need to notch the cross member up to clear the drive line? Got some different wheels, just stock 2x4 s10 don't know if the tires are going to work out yet. Put my heads on the engine.

daverod · 05-21-2011, 05:46 PM

Got my bed put away.

ruffrida2005 · 05-21-2011, 06:44 PM

I like the new wall mount. Are you gonna run a raised gas tank crossmember? I've decided I'm gonna run a sd 5 link, but I'm building it myself. I talked to Jason today and I got to order it all monday. He's got my LCA's for me.

Strodder · 05-21-2011, 09:01 PM

Man your getting $ome $hit done.

daverod · 05-21-2011, 11:55 PM

Got some more stuff figured.

I have good help.

Layedoutsonoma91 · 05-23-2011, 02:00 AM
