Hello Sparks,

in addition to the above, Allan Staniforth's books are very informative and DIY based,:- 'Competition Car Suspension' and 'Race and Rally Car Source Book' give a lot of theoretical and practical information.

or go to pirate 4x4 and search for 4 link www.pirate4x4.com

I wasnt concerned with the 4 link setup on my truck because I have the suspension so stiff there isnt a lot of movement, that and the fact the bars i bought were second hand and were already cut to length for another project

Pirate is the best resource for 3 and 4 link setups

If you really want to get into the details, try to get your hands on a copy of Race Car Vehicle Dynamics by Milliken & Milliken. Its the Bible for the basics of suspension, steering and chassis design - not cheap though!! Like this one:-
