Default Good truck suspension person in NOVA?

Whats up guys, I got a 96 Dodge Ram 1500 2wd that I need to get my parallel 4 link installed. Ive done alot of car suspension work and know it very well, but I would rather have someone who knows 4-links and rear truck suspension to do the install for me. It is a total kit with everything including shocks, panhard bar, cross bars, bags and all necessary hardware. The bags up front are installed and working, im just trying to finish the rear of this thing. Any help is appreciated!

The rear suspension system on that truck is VERY simplistic compared to a car...I had a Ram 1500 4x4...basically the stock suspension is just rear leaf springs and the axle is a Chrysler 9 3/4. You should have a Dana 44 front axle. If you can't get a hold of the person previously mentioned, get a hold of Pro Trucks...they are in Manassas in addition to being in Hampton Roads. The one in Hampton Roads installed a suspension kit on my friend's Chevy Truck and it saved his life during a freak accident (he got hit head-on by a Honda Civic HB that was similar in color and looks as to what ImportAngelsi drives...HB hit him doing in excess of 100 mph...he walked away with minor scratch from the airbag deploying, thats it...cops at the scene said the suspension system saved his life)

yeah im messing with a 4X2 though, with rear leaf OVER axle. The 4 link takes the leafs and other hardware out of that system, and replaces it all. There are precise measurements needed to make it work right, thats why im staying away from it.
