Any Pics of ladder bar, 4 link setup with 9" Axle

I want to build a 4 link setup or ladder bar with coilovers in my 78 2wd. I have a 9" rear to build it on . I am thinking a 4 link would be better. I would like to mount it on the outside of the frame rails by the front leaf hangers. I can get all the link bars and plates cheap out of speedway. My problem Is that I dont know how to approach it. The drive angle, movement , setup, etc

Does anyone have pics of a setup like this so I can get an Idea how to start?? 4 link or ladders , coil overs or coil spring. Thanks all

Four link mounts on most axles are set up with a neutral pinion angle and adjusted by moving the heim joints in or out. It actually simplifies installation.
