Re: 4 link Kit for 55-59 Chevy Truck

Nice looking truck!

I like using a panhard or even better a watts link to locate the rear axle. It defines the rear suspension roll center. I am building this '59 to be a an all around performer, which includes handling around corners (I guess that's called pro touring now?) so that's why it is a no brainer to me. Plus the adjustable link locations allow you to dial in how the chassis responds to power being applied to it by the rear axle.
