3 link vs 4 link

What is a better front setup for a solid axle swap that will be used for rock crawling and some street driving? I'm looking at either a rock slayer offroad 4 link or a rock solid toys 3 link. Axle wise I'd probably us a dana super 60 out of a f550. The vehicle is a 2nd gen tacoma regular cab.

 

On what vehicle? A true 4 link is very tricky unless you push the motor way back to clear the upper links.

3link with a panhard is much easier but doesn’t cycle as clean as a true 4 link. Either way the axle hitting the oil pan will be the limiting factor on wheel travel.

 

The vehicle is a 2nd gen tacoma regular cab

 

Stick with a 3 link/panhard setup so you can get a little bit more uptravel and use a steering box. A true 4 link will be a nightmare. As someone who does this for a living I would want nothing to do with trying to 4link the front of a Tacoma

 

The only kit that will require a 3 inch body? LMAO

 

What do you mean?

 

3” body lift.

If the solution requires a 3” BL, you may want to rethink the problem.

 

RST all day i would not trust the cockslayer kit.

 

May want to do a lot more research on the rock slayer (cockslayer) kit. Google it with pirate4x4 after and look at the Toyota groups on Facebook. Horrible geometry and link design etc.


me personally going with 3 link and doing hydro assist if you plan on street driving at all.

 

Yep, known an cockslayer for a reason.

 

They call it the 3" FRAME DROP, not body lift. Funny. Their kit doesn’t throw off your center of gravity and allows more clearance underneath your vehicle. Plus this will makes your vehicle easier to work on and not have to cut your body for clearance.

Ha Ha Ha

 

3 Link, all day! For sure on a 2nd gen taco, Here is mine!

 

Wyatt rocks.
He's currently building my rear 3 link kit.
Can't wait.

 

How much does it cost for the RST ultimate package?

 

Describe 'ultimate'. F&R?

 

I gave up on solid front axles and lack of up travel

 

like the ‘beast’ treatment? Probably Take a second mortgage out.

@jAndyMendo ‘s is at RST for a full build. He may be able to give more insight.

 

Sorta

 

The RST Three link kit starts with the basic Bracket kit all the way up to the Ultimate kit which has everything from the axle, links, joints, steering, brackets, frame plating, hardware, etc.

 

Good luck on getting your parts.. Just my 2 cents.. It 11 months and a fuck ton of phone calls..
