Triangulated 4 link - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I eventually want to do a triangulated 4 link (with coilovers). I know, by reading on here, that the top bars need to be between 35 and 45 degrees. Can that be relaxed if the lower bars are at an opposite angle? I drew up an example. By no means is this to scale or correct for geometry, but it does give and example of my thought. Will this work to keep the rearend centered in a 4000lb truck on an autocross track? Any downfalls to this design?

Also, no worries about exhaust, I plan to run outside the frame and dump in front of the wheels.
