I selected a Deuce Factory 4 Link
kit for my willys. I picked it as the brackets were half brackets allowing me to
install them without having to cut the ends off the housing as most 4 link
brackets are installed. The kit was very beefy and has provided the kind of
rear suspension needed to handle the motor, trans and tire combination on this
pickup. In the picture, I had installed the new shortened axles and was
determining the center of the housing so that I could then locate the 4 link
brackets evenly before welding them. When I did weld them, I was very careful to
weld small sections at a time, moving from one side to the other, to ensure I
did not warp the rear housing.
