4-Link rear

[MJ'sTacoma]

So ive never really been a fan of the leaf springs in the rear, I've done alot of research and basically decided I want to 4 link the taco.
I'll most likely be doing a triangulated 4 link to get awa from a panhard rod, Probably use a universal AntiRock swaybar kit, Some 80 series coils and most likely 4 runner shocks. (any shocks meant for the tacoma are valved much softer due to the fact that leaf springs are stiffer than coils)

Pros:
-More comfort ish?
-Easier to achieve more travel ( cost )

Cons:
-Will never be perfect
-Load ratings and towing will probably take a dump.


I dont know how much it will cost, how long it will take but F it, Does anyone know someone that I could speak to who can give me more advice on this?

Warfab can tell you all about his 3 link.

It’s tricky with the gas tank unless you relocate it for a 4 link.

Go for it and I’d be interested in seeing how it’s done.

Youll definitely have to relocate the gas tank if you 4-link...depending on the level of build your going for a 3-link might be a better option. Checkout Taco-SOS I believe on Instagram for a really well done 3-link. Also if your going to go the full build for either a 3-link or 4-link, why limit yourself on your travel options with 4runner suspension. You can easily get close to 20" of travel with a 3/4-link kit and coilovers compared to springs and 4runner shocks. Plus your cost is gonna be about the same

A coilover setup is definitely the end goal and probably should just strive for that from the begining. I work for Dobinsons USA so my options are kind of limited when it comes so custom stuff. But a coilover would definitely be the best option when it comes to travel.

But im mainly doing this to get away from the leafs, I will probably end up using a 12 inch coilover on a trailing arm 3 link.
End up with probably 14-16 inches of travel which is more than enough for what i do.
