Description
In this video we're installing our latest product-a fully adjustable 4-Link kit for the 2015-2026 Ford F-150 platform.
Traction bars do a great job helping mitigate the disadvantages of a factory leaf spring setup, but there is still room for improvement when it comes to putting major horsepower levels to the pavement and getting out of the hole.
Adding adjustable instant center and anti-squat unlock much more performance potential for F-150 owners that are looking for max acceleration.
Aside from straight-line speed, these 4-Link kits also exhibit much better ride quality over a standard leaf spring setup that is in general designed for those that are needing a truck for truck specific tasks. When it comes to street trucks and performance handling, moving away from a leaf spring setup that is responsible for both locating the axle and providing load support. Splitting up those tasks with a four link is a great way to dial in additional handling and ride quality attributes.
This video covers all the steps needed for installing one of our new four link systems under the current Gen F-150 platform.
