Here's the completed modification to the rear end. The original mounts for the two upper links were removed. Center mount added for the third link to the torque side of the rear end.

Re: Switching From 4-link to 3-Link...
So here's the third link almost finished up. I am working on pinion angle so I'm going to set the engine and tranny in their mounts so I can install the drive line and check the angles out. I am thinking I need to shorten the upper link.

That's looking sharp Rob!
Is the overall tire diameter larger than stock? It fills the wheel wells very nicely!!

Yes they do! and yes they are at the limit of what I could stuff under there at P225/50/r15. The wheels are an out of production Enkei RP-01 model that is powder coated. They are little dirty right now, a good cleaning will do them justice.SoFlaFiat wrote:That's looking sharp Rob!
