Tri-angulated 4-link, & heres why...
Tri-angulated 4-link positivly locates & holds the rear end (side to side) with no side movement during the suspension travel (important if tires are close to frame / inner fenders). This is goodness...

parallel 4-link requires a panhard rod, & panhard rod (by design) will move the rear end side ways during the suspension travel. The longer the panhard rod, the larger the arc., = less side movement, but you wont get rid of "all" side movement. Not a big deal if you have the room for some side movement....
you pro suspension builders can probably explain it better than I,
you better jump on "Scottshotrods" offer, its a good deal. Might have take advantage of the deal my self for future project
