Default Does anyone run the Genright Elite double triangulated 4 link

Im seriously considering the GenRight kit but i cant find anyone who has it to see what they think of it. Spending that kind of money without hearing what anyone has to say about it is tough. I almost pulled the trigger on the evo double throwdown but im giving it one last shot on the genright. If you have experience with it please let me know i will be pulling the trigger on one this week.

Its a well designed system, but for 20k you're better off taking it to a shop for a full custom suspension and 1 ton axles, and you'll probably still come out ahead.

I haven't heard of anyone who has bit the bullet and purchased the kit yet

Yeah its spendy but not $20k well maybe installed for that. I bought the new mopar ultimate dana 60's already and the suspension is the last thing. The only way i can come even close to affording it is if i do the laybor myself saving about $8k

I hadn't looked at that kit in a long time, but I thought I recalled it being $15k before the coilovers. My bad.

If it were me, I'd still say go the custom route, but the Genright set up really is the most complete suspension you could buy. Not to mention the only "kit" i've seen that offers a real flat belly.

If you can do the work, then just take design ideas form those of us who have gone to a double triangulated rear. It can be done fairly easily, it is just that when you start to want more exotic results that the challenging fab begins. It would take 30 min for you to understand a 4 link calculator and what you are targeting. The axle will be easy. That can be done in a day. You can always cheat a little at first to keep it from being in your garage for two months. Use a simple coilover kit until you have time to move them outboard.

The time consuming part is cutting and grinding of old brackets. If you have a few friends that can bring their own and have a grinding party, it could be done in a day.'

Oh, and doing it on a 4-door would be way easier. So much more real estate to work with.

Fuel cell. And the genright kit is designed for currie tons so you need to add those things in the mix. I would price it closer to 30K all said and done out the door

Do you think since i went with the mopar dana 60's that i will have issues since they designed the kit for curries?
