 When it comes to the rear suspension on a vehicle, there are many options available. There is the traditional leaf spring configuration, the 2 link (or trailing arm) setup, the 3 link, the 4 bar, and an independent rear suspension. The growth of the hotrod industry, as well as the mini-trucking industry has created a realm in which all of these possibilities are put to use every single day. The most widely used device listed above is the 4 bar suspension. Because this is the most widely used, many people have adopted different ways of configuring the 4 bar suspension on their vehicle. Some of these ways are better than others, while some are, by far, the worst setup to put on a vehicle. Some people believe that it doesn't matter how it's setup. As long as it works, there will not be any problems. A properly setup and installed forward 4 bar will provide optimum performance for the vehicle and its driver.

 KP Components produces some of the best bolt-on aftermarket air ride suspension systems around. One such beast is the 4 Link with Cantilever attachments for the 88-98 GM Fullsize pickup. This tutorial was put together by the folks at KP Components and ShowTruckScene.com. This install shouldn't take more than a day if you have all the right tools, and even shorter if you have a buddy helping you. The installation of this kit is very straight forward as well.

I've found that the biggest reason for this was improper wrapping of the Teflon tape on the NPT threads, which in turn caused the Teflon tape not to stay on the fitting, and caused leaking. Here is a simple how-to on properly wrapping Teflon tape on NPT threads.
