Show me your 4 link setups!

I've been driving myself up a wall trying to decide which 4 link setup to go with, looking for pictures and opinions.
Definitely going with a universal weld in setup, but not sure whether to go triangulated vs parallel, and whether to do cantilever, over the axle, or some other kind of bag mounts.

Leaning towards cantilever parallel 4 link but it's a lot more work and money as opposed to anything else and I'm definitely on a budget.

Re: Show me your 4 link setups!

Why the 4 link? Planning on doing some racing?

On a budget you can't beat the stock style trailing arms of these rigs.

Re: Show me your 4 link setups!

Going on bags, won't get as low as I want on trailing arms, and my stock trailing arms were rotten as hell anyway. And I'm thinking if I already have the 4 link it'll be ready if I do wanna get it to stick and make a good drag pass. Planning on making around 650ish at the wheels so having a nice drag suspension won't hurt.

Doesn't sound like a budget build to me...

I'll be more into chassis than I will motor haha sounds like a lot of power but it's not a ton for a junkyard LS motor with a decent sized turbo.
