Re: 3 link question..

the 3 link is just to keep the axle centered. you need to come up with a way to mount the bags.

Re: 3 link question..

not on the s10 specific 3-link, the bars are to short and there's really no room. Make it into the 5 link if you really want to do that.

you would be better off with a 5 link, or building your own 4-link with the bags on the bars...but if you take this route...you will have to get a fuel cell.

thats at your discretion. if you trust your friends welding ability, do that, i think the weld on kit may be a bit cheaper. as far as poly or superpivot...thats all in how you are going to use it...if you're planning on hitting sides, i would get the superpivot, if not...i would go with the poly.

again bags are your preference....the only bags i have ever used are firestone. the new bags I am going to be using on my current project are the new airlift dominators. everyone with a bagged ride will reccomend different bags...so that is again, completely up to you...just make sure you get a reputable brand name. definitely stay away from companies like AIM. hell...AVS tried to practically give AIM bags away, an still no one wanted them.

Re: 3 link question..

as far as vendors go I strongly recommend Waylayed Inc, and AVS. SD is a great company, and i will buy the products they make in house, anything else i will get elsewhere, because SD lately tends to take a while on shipping.

Like i said, I still order from SD the products that they make in house. The thing I like about Waylayed and AVS, is that they have everything they sell In stock, so there is no waiting on back orders and such. both AVS and Waylayed have excellent customer service as well.
