3 Link vs 4 Link Front Suspension

[josh@thedieselcartel]

Discuss please, pros? Cons? Why you would choose one over the other? Does one ride better, does one perform better....etc

I believe 4 link rides better while 3 link handles better. I could have them mixed up though.

 

[josh@thedieselcartel]

HMMM, ive always done 4 links. I prefer the look of a 4 link.

I assume you mean the ALA's when you say 3 link since to my knowledge noone makes a true 3 link for these trucks. The ALA's are just adjustable radius arms.
I would say for all out performance the 4 link would be a better choice.
This has all been discussed here to if you do some searching theres probably some discussion about it.

Both will handle fine, using 4 link arms will allow more flex so pre '08 trucks may want to upgrade to a larger front bar.
