4wd jump/bounce/wheel hop

Will a 4 link cure this issue I have in 4wd or do I have a problem? In snow/mud when getting stuck hubs locked, front end really jumps/bounces around bad. I know its wheel hop but dang feels like front end is going to fall out.

Yes. It takes any wheel hop you get and puts it to the ground. 4 link was a nice addition to my truck!

Was afraid that would be the answer. Now the question is 3-link or 4-link? Leveled height truck.

3 link is nice but I still say 4 link for the best performance.

Thanks Ryan.

I think it is more than that. It is more of a shock issue or tire issue than a 3-link versus 4-link setup.

Am I wrong, but doesn't a 4-link allow the suspension to articulate more?

Less?

Thinking about PMFs or maybe wait on some flight fabs.

I think you meant less.

No I meant what I said. That is why you typically have to install a larger sway bar on a 4-linked truck. If you don't change anything at all but go to a 4-link you get more body roll than a radius arm setup.

Newton's 4 link looks pretty stout and a good price.

I would never run that even if it was given to me.

How much are OUO's again?

I would do ALAs

That's what I'm saying. You cannot argue with perfection!

Yeah, a little more than I am looking to spend. Unless your looking to sell yours Jared.

Unfortunately no. I won't be ever getting rid of any, love mine. These and OUO Traction Blocks are the best mod you can do to any truck

I think Trevor from PMF made a short arm 4-link and said it was better for wheel hop in like racing/pulling situations. I don't know how that translates to your situation, but you could give him a call.

Maybe since he has both 3-link and 4-link available he would be able to give you a better idea of which is right for you?

Yes sir, thank you. I did talk with Trevor. He does have a short arm, long arm and a 3link. Since I have no plans of lifting I think a 3link may be better for me.
