![]() ![]() I stumbled upon the Giant Motorsports daily driver link kit kind of by accident. I’m a long way from any fab shop, and didn’t want to take the truck to the states and leave it there for 8 months while work was performed, and then take the chance of getting it back across the border without legality issues. I looked into a three link setup, but nobody manufactures a “kit” persay. So I didn’t want to turn it into a full time toy. I also wanted to keep a bit of the bed for hauling rc airplanes, kayaks, etc. I still want to enjoy the truck on longer trips without earplugs and mics for comms. That left me desiring a four link, but I was unwilling to do a cab cage for nvh reasons. No comparison in performance and tractability. Bed cage, sprung under and larger bypasses- a good cost vs performance solution for most, but having rode in a linked truck and a long leaf truck, I was ruined. ![]() Rogue cantilever/ sprung under- really nice quality, good motion ratio, shifts weight back, retains full bed, added complexity, uniballs in a bad spot to get at for maintenance/cleaning, cost $, and still has leafs. Icon rxt- good if you plan to not alter the truck, a step up from a standard deaver/3.0 setup, lacks in performance compared to more crazy setups. A number of options were considered and dismissed. I adjusted the bypasses as best I could to make do until a solution presented itself. The rear end would start kicking from a lack of up travel, or yaw unpredictably due to a lack of droop compared to the front. I quickly found the rear end’s 3.0 bypass, national +3 springs and rpg bumps were not up to task anymore. ![]() So with my last install thread I did the brenthel long travel kit for the front. Can be used with a single coil over shock andĪdd the by-pass later or ready for both the first time. This link shock mounts are a great starting point to making your own bedĬage with linking your truck. ![]()
