OK before I did this upgrade I was running OME N86 shocks and 891 springs, with the custom lower links and was a stop gap until I went to a double triangulated 4-link....
The handling was much better than stock, but having the swaybar attached and the Total Chaos long travel kit running no front swaybar it had a bit of oversteer and during hard cornering the inside rear wheel would lose traction.
Now I no longer run a rear swaybar and the handling has improved greatly, no oversteer and no traction loss during hard cornering. It does sway more, but very controllable. I recently had to swerve to avoid a car in front of me. I turned hard right into another lane on the freeway, the body rolled to the left, but when I turned the steering back, it rolled right and settled down in the next lane with complete control. Accelerating out of a corner is so much fun now....hehe
I used to slow down a bit going over speed bumps, since the rear used to have a tendency to bounce a bit, now it's like those bumps aren't even there, I can hit them at any speed and all I feel is a slight thump.
Out on the sand dunes at Pismo I have no complaints with the way it handled, except the front suspension was a bit soft for jumping now only if I can get a set of bypass shocks for free

I know this is an old thread/write up, but im desperate to get more info on this. I recently LT my 98 t4r front(engage) and after one trip to ocotillo I need the a rear like bruceTS or chaplain's.
Is Bruce still around? I pmd but no response...anyone else do their rear like this?
I heard he wanted to go double tri-4link...w/F150 gas tank in back? thread on that?
I have reservations about the body lift tho, Ill only be running 285/75/16.
maybe chaplains rear is the way to go for me then huh?

3GT4SCLT; need rear suspension stat!
Bruce is around but not often. He's been very swamped with family stuff that he rarely jumps online in general.
There's a thread he did of the ford tank but that's all he's done recently.

Not sure if he's going to do anything else on the rear at this point.
I've done something different on my rear by doing a tri-4link w/ a custom tank in the spare wheel area. This was for a 4th gen but you get the idea.

Something to note, I ended up going with different lower link tubings because the one posted was not strong enough to muster what I wanted to do. Live and learn I guess
