Triangulated 4 link
So the while I'm at it bug has bitten me pretty hard, my '48 on a s10 chassis has a slough of parts waiting for it, pretty quick I'm going to have to do some work..Going to swap in an ls1, 4l60e combo from a 98 z28 camaro, and already have a currie 9'' rear, planning on a mild cam and fairly mild overall build for the ls1, but starting to think about a triangulated 4 link. (will be moving fuel source in the ls1 swap, and would like to eliminate panhard bar) mainly wanting to eliminate any axle wrap, improve traction and ride quality with the option to bag at some point. Definitely staying static with coil overs for now though.

I've never done a 4 link, so would prefer to go with a weld in kit route rather than fabbing my own, but having a hard time nailing a good one down for the s10 chassis. I realize there are universal ones as well, but again just hoping to simplify things some if possible since I have not done one before.

Certainly won't turn any advice away, and if anyone thinks it's overkill to do 4 link I'd be more than open to the real pros/cons opinions on things also.
