newguy Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Tonight I was going to start working on the rear for air ride and ran into a problem. I bought a triangle four link kit and a frame knotch kit. Made some brackets for the air cylinders, yes I'm running air cylinders. I have already done the front and works awsome (About 8" adjustable) I was hoping to keep it real simple. Where the spare tire goes I have placed the air tank (5 gallon) and valves, compressor, etc.... Leaving no room for a reverse 4 link or relocating the fuel tank there. So heres my problem how do I install the 4 link with the gas tank in the way? I really need to keep the trucks bed clear for daily uses like quads, taking a load to the junk yard, etc.. I do realise the frame knotch will be sticking out of the bed as well as the air cylinders. Once I'm done with it all I'll put a peace of sheet metal over it all to cover it so I don't loose garbage when going to the junk yard. I don't want to do a real complicated setup because I don't have the time or the money. Can someone show me a picture and somewhat guide me through this? Quote Link to comment
DAZE752 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 i would say modify the upper links to do a offset wishbone and leave the tank in the stock location raised Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Gonna be hard to keep the tank in the stock location with a triangulated4 link. I did a 3 link on mine, kept the tank in the stock spot, then made new mounts that raised it up 2 inches. Quote Link to comment
76bullit Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I would buy another truck to haul stuff in. If you are bagging your datsun you dont want to have your gas tank anywhere near the ground where any number things can puncture the tank. then a couple of sparks and your truck will have an awesome smoke flavor.
