type of 4-link rear to use?
Standard 4-link with panhard bar to keep rearend centered, or triangulated 4-link with differential-to-frame mount to keep rear centered?
Opinions?
Thanks,
SC

One should be as strong as the other, but triangulated 4-link will handle better because the axle is always centered with the chassis.
Oops, re-read....you already knew that.
