Re: Agrid's Bodydrop
i might take you up on those notches.
that 3 link is about 2 1/2 years old only drove on it for about 6 months and since then its been sitting in garage the motor went out on my truck and i kinda got side tracked with my ol' lady having a baby and just in the last couple of months kinda got the free time (getting laid off) to work on my truck again if your intrested shoot me an offer and maybe we could work something out |

Re: Agrid's Bodydrop
I don't know man, i don't even know what they go for new. and to honest with you i build my own link systems. i know you can buld them way cheaper then you can buy them for. but i'd be willing to give you $200 plus a notch kit. but, to be honest with you. you could probably find someone on here that rally needs it and could give you more for it. just have the pics and stuff up on here right now might even help you sell it. alot of people look through these forums and you never know, you might get a response on it. but you deside what you wanna do. |

Re: Agrid's Bodydrop
http://www.suicidedoors.com/4-link-k...es-s10-air-bar
SD sells them for $1200 new and its a good setup. at the time i didnt have a welder and i thought that a bolt on kit would be the way to go.the it rides really good but looking back on it i should have went with the 5 link kit fron SD i was thinking like $400 plus shipping for all of it if your not intrested i might try to sell it elsewhere but ill give you first dibs since you asked about it as for the notches if i do order that 5 link kit it comes with notches so i guess ill let you know when i figure something out. are yours 8 pcs like the SD one? if so i might just get them from you because all im looking to do is a bodydrop on 20's so an 8in is plenty for me also i have a pair of big red ART valves that i dont want anymore also 2 1/2 years old with about 6 months of use i guess let me know |

Re: Agrid's Bodydrop
as i said previously in this thread that my camera was messed up. these are what the pics turn out like on the camera. shitty! never the less. here they are
here are some updated pics. im going to hold off on welding the tubs in for a week or so, and get a start on the box drop and dropping the front horns. but it is cut out and i have the tubs for 22" wheels. i am running 20's but i figured some day i may want to go bigger, so i left the option open and tubed for 22's. anyways here they are............. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() let me know what you think.
