The 4 link setup is by far the best and is used on most serious competition vehicles, the only problem is you have a V8 that can't go over 100km/h unless you have a 4 lane highway, but who cares if it kicks butt off road!
One tip; the shocks doesn't have to be staggered front to back anymore as the 4 link eliminates axle wrap, you should move the bottom shock bracket as close to the wheel as possible and the top one as close to the chassis rail as you can. both should be behind the rear axle at a slight inward angle to the top, this will improve handling. We made two top mounting points, the more you move them in on top, the better the articulation, but handling gets worse, so you just move them when you go off road.

Hi Hoppy .

Daardie 4 link is soos n droom .

Baie dankie vir die tip . Ek gaan hul verseker nog skuif . Was bietjie hastig gewees om hom te ry .

Gaan miskien coils afgooi en coil overs doen . Het 16 " air shocks maar wil noggie gewig afgooi nie . Maar time will tell .
