    Didn't the "barge body" LTDs use a four-link with a 9"? Not that I expect those are up to serious performance duty .....
    And most barges didn't use a 9" rear. It's similar, but bigger and has like no aftermarket support.

      it's inside the bag... look at the linky man!

        thats also a disturbing thing though, do you have to replace the bag if the shock wears out? I don't like things interconnected like that. Makes me think of air struts that have to be replaced as an expensive assembly when the cartridge inside wears out.

          Yes, I had one of these completely useless behemoths in my garage at one time....I think it was a 9.75" rear or something....and it was built like the 8.8/12-bolt chevy (non-removeable carrier), just a hell of a lot heavier.
