kaoss Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Couldn't let bygones be bygones could you? Just had to try to call us out on the info that we had provided? I was one of the "knowledgeable" "haterz" from the other thread, and this thread is fail, not saying his truck will be, he just won't have the ideal set up for the rear of it. Go ahead and research reverse 4 links some more, see what else you can find to prove us or wrong (or to make you feel better about you decision). You'll find that they are used in big pusher buses, which is exactly how I want my truck to handle! Quote Link to comment
Iowa Mark Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Not to detract from the fail game, but I have a question about how the suspension works. What happens when one bag is inflated and the other stays flat? How does that top "Y" link handle the twist? I can't see any pivot points in that connection from frame to pumpkin. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment

Am I missing something? The bar end at the bottom of the "Y" looks to be what they call their super pivot joint. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Jesus Christ! not again..... Someone make me a mod so I can lock this waste of space and all the other ones like it, maybe it will discourage all these big tough newbies :rolleyes: to stop posting every retarded beef or thought they have. And "haterz"? really? Just hit the S key, dont be an idiot. No one gives a shit if your "gangsta" [/rant] Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I feel this is a good time to quote one of my more favorite sites. Hey db1, quick question for ya, It is basically an unspoken rule that anyone who says or calls anyone else a "hater" is a huge douchebag, right? Like, even if they don't look douchey, that one spoken term condemns them to autoscrote? Aside from being the go-to insult from the mouths of choads everywhere when they feel slighted, it just sounds retarded. It's vaguely reminiscent of school children on the playground saying, "Liar liar, pants on fire!" or calling one another a "tattle-tailer." What say you? -Douche of Arabia ---- Yes, D of A, and an excellent point. There are three descending levels of auto-douche conferred upon using the word hater. Level 1 -- Simply using the word in any way, shape or form to refer in an abstract sense to those who might disagree or criticize something. Level 2 -- Using the word ironically, in a self-aware hipster variation. Level 3 -- Using the word in an email or text, but spelling it "hatter." Quote Link to comment
V8Dat Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Not sure how smiley720's is but the forward links locate the rearend in the pictures of this truck. And the bagged links have shackles on them where they connect to the housing which will not affect the pinion angle. If they were directly connected they would. But they are not so it should work fine. GO for it man.. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Layed, I understand that. There were a few guys who thought I was comitting suicide by putting a reverse 4-link on my 720, I was just showing that some big name shops do the same thing sometimes. Like I said, it doesn't make it right or wrong but it does show that there is more than one way to skin a catUhh, am I the only one who sees what you posted as a normal 3 link? Just because the bags are coming off the back doesn't change the fact that the actual links are just the two lower trailing and the top one (akin to using cantilevers to move a shock into a different position)?

oldsklminitrk Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Here is my 2 cents.....just a picture.....and this is on a Datsun.....620 Quote Link to comment
steve g Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 What is your definition of "KNOWLEDGEABLE"? Someone who had installed a store bought 4-link one time on one truck? Some guy in the sticks that bagged his truck, opened a shop and bagged his buddy's truck? I love how you people think your "knowledge" is all-knowing. Help is one thing, and I never discredited anyone for trying to help. Suggestions are o.k. and I never hated on anyone for having them. You are right, I missed the lower bars completely in the pic, so what?! Does that make you some genius on suspensions? NO. I never claimed to know everything or that my ideas were better than anyone else's. So before you call "fail", look in the mirror, Now you know what it looks like now you know how things are done here.:P Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 why do these wanna be "mini truckers" or "rat rod" guys come on here thinkin thats what ratsuns all about... not to mention they ask questions an when someone disagrees or trys to point them in a better direction they get all butt hurt.. WHY MUST DOUCHE BAGS COME TO RATSUN? i think we should start banning mother fuckers.. who cares if they get mad an talk smack about how those ratsun guys are assholes... we've been able to do well here without the douches for a long time, now all the sudden they're commin outta the bushes holdin hands an such.. i think we should make it so new members have to be mod approved, an the mods should message these people an talk to them before they're able to join the community.. btw smiley, why dont you just do it the correct way, instead of tryin to do shit half ass? you should go to the minitrucker forums or something.. maybe they'll accept ya there..
