can you run that chassis with a 4 link kit?

I think you would have to change the lower chassis brace as it would no doubt interfere with the 4 link.

i bet it would work. here's the CPE 4 link kit on my stock chassis clod with CPE chassis brace.
it ditches the ball stud and replaces it with a rod end pivot ball that gets screwed/nutted to the plate.

been wondering about that. now i have an answer. good times.

If you used that chassis brace the suspension would definitely work. You have to figure out battery mounting though, as the battery mounts to that lower brace on the flashback chassis.

i don't fully remember. id have to look. so i could be wrong here. but i think you can use the stock links with ball stud with that CPE brace. i think the holes are in the same place. i bet that stock plate would work.
if not. i have a semi calibrated eye-crometer and a drill press.

iv thought about upgrading to that chassis if anything ever happens to my stock chassis. i like the look. still old school, but no doubt much stronger.

semi calibrated eye-crometer

Reminds me of the "Eyeferlengths" frame measuring system in our bodyshop back when!

No doubt you could make something work, its definitely not gonna be a bolt on mod.
