I'm probably going to find this out pretty soon. I'm running a 31 gallon tank
And I hope to order the front coilover setup on Monday!

The gas tank issue will be good to know.

It might, but why? If you want I can measure since my bed is still off.

I am not 100% for sure. Do you have one you could take some measurements off of, maybe even some measurements in relation to your frame? Id be more than happy to compare your measurements to our truck to see what I can come up with.

I'm planning on moving the gas tank to the back, but it's not something that has to be done.

Re: Ridetech 4-Link Coil-Over Install

John, in the installed photos of the front frame tubular gusset kit it also shows a bar going straight from frame rail to frame rail with a pair of rod ends. Is that included in the kit? I don't see it pictured on the sales site. I just see the angled bars pictured. Thanks.

That was a prototype piece and will not be included with future kits. The triangulated pieces provide ample enough support. I apologize for not mentioning that above.

Re: Ridetech 4-Link Coil-Over Install

Any comparisons between the old and new? The new kit is beyond my price range but I'm still curious. Any details on the old stuff being sold/given away yet?

Not as of yet. I would personally like to see how easy it would be to adapt our kit to a Blazer.

This is our first ever complete coilover kit for the Squarebody.
While the performance and handling are drastically improved over the OE components with the StreetGrip kit, the new coilover kit was designed for those who really wanted to take the performance of their truck to a completely different level.
This kit was designed for performance track and heavy duty street use. Whether it be on an autocross track, a road course or the drag strip, the coilover kit was designed to take whatever you'd like to throw at it..and it does it all without you having to listen to your significant other complain about the ride quality.

Everything should work fine, minus the Notch setup and bar lengths as the leafs are different. Id really like to see a setup like that, id be your first customer!
