Dear Welder Series… 01 Chevy truck

Dear Welder Series…
To whom it may concern,
I am getting ready to build a pre runner style truck out of a 2001 Chevy half ton pickup. Its and extended cab short bed two wheel drive. I was planning on running King coil overs in all four corners. Do you happen to have or would you be able to fab a complete weld or bolt on 4 link kit. I like the triangulated design but the pictures on your sight the rods them selves look to short if you can build something like that can you please put a quote together and email me back and if not maybe you might know who is able to do it thank you very much.

Dear Tyler…
There are some drawings that show where the bars mount at http://welderseries.com/instructions/ws21850/ws21850_dwgs.htm .  If this length doesn’t work for you, we can supply custom length bars.  The frame mounts go in the same place for both our 218500 and 318500 kits.

Thanks for looking at Welder Series’ parts.

Dear Welder Series… Model A triangulated four link

Dear Welder Series…
I would like to know if you have plans in the future to supply triangulated four bar rear kits for model A’s and also would like to see a kit to adapt the Uni-steer type single cross steer rack to the Model A frame without using a vega bracket in addition to the bracket the rack comes with? Thanks for your time, Jon.

Dear Jon…
Thanks for giving me these two things to think about, Jon.

Dealing with the Unisteer rack first, I have work to do studying the “blank” end of the rack’s position in a right turn relative to the lower 4-bar. This won’t happen for a few months at least.

We have a model A triangulated kit:

 

I hope this helps.
