Had a buddy with an extended cab S10 with rockwells and 44's I believe. It was built as a mud truck but damn thing worked. Had another buddy with a Toyota 4Runner all chopped up with one tons leaf sprung front and 1 linked rear with a 2" bulldog hitch on 40's.....damn thing worked great!!

My car trailer has a one link on it seems like that would put ALOT of stress on the mounting point. But I don't know it's the first one I've seen. Believe I'll stick with the trusty 4 link set up.

That Samurai that has changed hands a few times on here, I know Joc had it for a while...it had some sort of funky rear suspension on it and looked like it worked like a champ. Can't remember if it was a 1 link or what.

Edit: Here is link. It was 1 link...love this rig.

A buddy of mine built that Samurai. He is also the one that built the extended cab S10 on Rockwells that was one linked I was referring to a couple posts up. He is a HUGE fan of the one link. He is a pretty accomplished fabricator :****:

I helped build a Toyota truggy with one link front and rear that worked great. As long as the mounts, axle and frame, are strong enough they work pretty good. The flatter the better, one link and panhard bar and suck down winches or limit straps are your friends. We built his with a gooseneck ball and a machined socket for one end and he bought one pre-made off of Pirate for the other.

man i would love to see some picts of the set up you are talking a bout

That jeep is now owned by my brother. It had 49 iroks when he got it and it done good but the suspension was sloppy. Guy who built it cut to many corners. Such as using ford pitman arms welded to the axle for panhard mounts and they broke off really quick after my brother got it. He has now torn the yeep down and building a buggy and using 4 link
