4 link vs. 4 link

[671landcruiser]

Im planning to build a triangulated 4 link suspension or attemt to. I have read many articles on them but are not very specific on how they are built. What is the difference between having the 1. lower links run parallel with the frame vs 2. having them run somewhat inward towards the x member? The top links on both run from center diff outward and towards the frame rail. Their are quite a few rigs setup the 2. way here and seem to do very well. But I often see in the mags that most of competition rigs use the 1. setup. What are pros and cons between the two? Anybody know any good books that refer to these designs? Thanks

If you don't much response here...

This would be a fantastic question to ask the guys in the hardcore build section here:

HardCore Corner - IH8MUD.com Forum

There's some very knowledgeable guys with builds similar there who can help ya out.

Might also try pirate's forum. I thought I had read something similar over there, but just remember to read and search prior to posting there. They like the taste of newbies
