Triangulated 4 Link

Awhile back i posted a thread on the pros and cons of parallel and triangulated 4 links. My deal was that i was going to be running a fat rim and tire combo and needed info on which was the best for minimal side to side sway. Just by how they are set up it was pretty obvious to me that the triangulated 4 link would be the ideal choice. A few board members at the time had told me otherwise, but i was skeptical and went ahead anyway. I have recently finished the install and just thought i would share my outcomes. Other than going into steep driveways or approaches, there is zero to minimal side to side sway!!! I couldn't be happier! I am still running my 15" rims with 265/50 rubber. The tires are about 3/16 of an inch away from the wheel wells. I can now cruise down the hiway at 140 kms, rear bumper 1' off the ground, no scrapping, no rubbing! So for any of you who may be thinking of going this route, to lay out and or run a tight rim/ tire combo, this is one way to go, i highly recommend it from personal experience!!! I will post pics at a later date, thanks guys!

I may be wrong but something may have gone wrong with his set up. Tell us what happened.
