Dear Welder Series…
Good day, I am trying to source out parts for my triangulated 4 link install.
These brackets in the link, what i the inner width? I am only seeing 2″ to 3″ inch wide poly busing kits available online.
Dear _____…
The brackets in the link are 1.082” between the sides. They are made for our 21309 sleeves and 213094 (or 213095) bushings.We also have custom plates that aren’t yet on our web store:318533 side plate, C$12.00 ea318535 back plate, C$8.75 eaCustom width back plate, similar to 318535, C$16.00The tabs hold the parts inside corner-to-inside corner for welding.
We do custom parts to sketches sent by builders, too.I hope this helps. Thanks for looking at Welder Series’ parts.Paul
Dear Welder Series…
Ahhh okay, can I have them made wider? I’d like to fit 2.5 inch wide bushing with 5/8 bolt hole
Dear ______…
We can do 2-1/2” between the sides. (We’d actually make the back plate to space the sides slightly more that 2-1/2” to allow for paint and easier assembly.)
The 3/16” mild steel side plates will have 1/2” holes that you can drill to 5/8”. They are cut in quantity to keep the price down.Please send us your name, address, and phone number, and how you would like to pay. (Credit card or PayPal)Unless you want brackets for more than one rear axle, the order will be for:4 pcs 318533 side plates @ C$12.00 = C$48.002 pcs custom width (2-1/2” between sides) back plates @ C$16.00 = C$32.00Would these upper mounts help you out? https://welderseries.ecwid.com/Upper-axle-tab-p50202391We will send an order form and invoice or PayPal request. This will include extra for shipping and taxes if you are shipping to Canada. On special orders like this one we ask for payment with the order. Lead time will be 5 – 10 days.Shipping is charged at 10% of the order amount plus $10.00 in Canada and the lower 48 states.Thanks for getting back to us.Paul

I have a 1990 C1500 lowered (C-notched, and dropped spindles) short wheelbase Chevy pickup. It wheelhops really bad when I get on it. So I’m thinking I need to weld me a new shock support so my shocks are more up and down and not laying like they are now, and I would like to install a four like with a Pana red bar or do a triangulated four link and eliminate the need for the panard bar. I am also considering goin with rear coilover shocks. What are your recommendations for this truck? I want it to ride good and hook up, and eliminate the wheel hop.
Hi Rob,
Thank you for reaching out! It sounds like you’ve got a great project in the works with your lowered C1500. Based on the setup you described, I’d recommend the following to address the wheel hop, improve traction, and optimize the ride quality:
Rear Suspension Options
Triangulated Four-Link Kit:
A triangulated four-link system would be an excellent option for your truck. It eliminates the need for a panhard bar and provides superior traction and stability. Our universal triangulated four-link kit is designed to work with custom applications like your lowered C1500.
This setup will significantly reduce wheel hop and improve the rear-end geometry for better hook-up under acceleration.
Rear Coilovers:
Switching to coilover shocks in the rear will allow you to fine-tune the ride height, spring rate, and damping for a smoother ride and better handling.
Our coilover shock mounts and brackets can easily integrate with the four-link system for a clean and functional setup.
Shock Mount Angle Adjustment:
Correcting the angle of your rear shocks is also a great idea. Shocks that are too far from vertical can reduce their effectiveness. We offer weld-on shock mounts that allow you to set the shocks at a more optimal angle for improved damping performance.
Let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance. We’re here to help make this upgrade as smooth as possible! You can send an email to dw@welderseries.com.
