owners of the kp 6link

[91blks10]

you might wanna take your shocks off and see how it sits. When I put my 6-link on with my 18's it sat on the ground without shocks. When I put my "stock" shocks back on it sat maybe an inch off. Now that I have lowered shocks I have no problems.

i did try it without the shocks the bag compression was maxed out i just need to get some bigger dogbones and relocate my shocks or get new ones.


but thanks for all the imput you guys have provided its help out allot.

ordered the 20" bones tonight

[sadexcuse4s10]

if it still doesn't lay out with the bigger bones, get some doesch tech drop shocks for the back.

that's what i've ran in both my trucks and they work great

[91blks10]

Thats what I'm running on mine now

is there a certain size or model #?

[sadexcuse4s10]

can't remember the number at all. they're pretty much just standard rear drop shocks for an s10

[91blks10]

On Cando's website its the 4095G that should work for it. They are $49 from there but you can just order them from summit racing for $29 the part number is sum-g7726. The summit brand ones are actually doetsch tech shocks.

sweet thanks

just because it says it lays on 18s or 20s doesnt really mean anything its all about what size tire your running. if they sell you a dogbone that lays on 20s do you think it will lay a 275/50/20 i dont think so. tell them what your overall tire diam is and go from there

[goodiemob]

kp kinda sucks to do business with, they never wrote me an email back and when i purchased the dogbones the dont calcualte the shipping till after you buy the item. hopefully its the last time ill have to deal with them....

[dagreenmonster]

how much was it for the dogbones?

[goodiemob]

it ended up being like 81.99 kinda sucks now that i think of it i shoulda seen if my buddy could build me some.

[91blks10]

yeah you could of done that probably a lot cheaper and adjustable so you wont have to worry about 18's or 20's

[goodiemob]

well i got the 20" dogbone so they should be good for now. but next time ill just section a piece of round stock in there.

the dg bone would have to adjust so much to allow for diff wheel sizes that it wouldnt be safe since the whole rear end is held by those dog bones. the threads would tear right out if you extended it too much
weld on bushings at sd are 13 bucks you would need four of them and some tubing so with shipping 82 bucks aint that bad

[91blks10]

so then why do you suppose SD makes adjustable dog bones?

[dava flav]

i dont know i dont work for sd
maybe its too fine too your shit if you mess up.
but whats the diff in length between a 18 bone and a 20 bone

[91blks10]

I dont know man to be honest, I couldnt tell you the difference in lenghts. But your probably right that its to fine tune your ride. I think I am running 20" dog bones on mine cuz I bought my lift bars/dog bones off somebody here on the forum. He was running 20's or 22's I believe

what are you running for tire/rim size?

[91blks10]

I'm running a 235-40-18 and have no problem sitting it on the ground. Once I track down my tape measure I'll measure the dog bones if you'd like

[goodiemob]

that would be awesome, what bags are you running out back?

[91blks10]

I found my tape measeure by didnt measure them. I'll go ahead and do that for you when I get home. As for bags I am running slam RE-7's

sweet well i guess if you lay on the 20" dogs ill be all set i have a smaller tire and im running the same bags. im pretty sure i dont have the 20" bones now, there in the mail and on the way anyway. and your not running blocks rite?

[91blks10]

So I measured it the best I could, kinda hard with the truck on jack stands on one side, haha. But anyway its 4.5" long center to center of the bushings and no I'm not running any blocks

[goodiemob]

i got the dogs in today and at first glance they dont look much biggers than the ones i got but ill have to get them up to the truck this weekend and compare them side to side.

[goodiemob]

well turns out i have the 20inch dogbones already so imm gonna send them back and get the 22's. and 91blks10 how compressed are your bags layed out?

[mlnsam]

i bought my truck with the six link on it already and without blocks and a 245/35r20 tire it lays out. the dogbone is 5 1/4 inches

[91blks10]

Heres a pic of mine when I first installed it, you can see that bag compressed all the way.

[goodiemob]

im gonna take the blocks out and lay it out see what happens then ill send them back for the 22" if needed. this is what the bag on my truck looked like before i put in the blocks and notch.

[91blks10]

How close is your tank? It looks like its touching the ground in that pick. Remember you have 2" above the frame before you hit the bottom of the bed

[goodiemob]

my tank is fine clear plenty, i dont ried extremely low around here anyway the roads are to rough. are you runnin you shocks in the stock location?

[91blks10]

Yeah my shocks are in the stock location. What about your front lower bars? Do they hit the spring perch when layed out?
