AIR4Link™ Parallel Systems
Air Ride Technologies also offers
the 4 link rear suspension in a parallel
style. Very similar in construction
to the tri link... rubber bushings,
heavy tubing, lasercut bracketry...
but the parallel 4 link uses a panhard
bar to position the rear axle side
to side.
In many applications, such as late
model trucks, this configuration
avoids interference between the upper
bars and the oem gas tank. The parallel
4 link is also slightly easier for
the casual installer to visualize
and install because there are fewer
bar mounts to deal with... the frame
brackets and axle brackets carry
both upper and lower bars. The parallel Air4Link™ is
available separately, with airsprings
and weld-on bracketry, with bolt-on
rear mounted airspring brackets,
or with ShockWaves™.
