Need some 4 link info.

[4.3LXJ]

Right now I am upgrading my front suspension to a heavy duty 3 link and custom track bar with bushings and spherical joint from Parts Mike. And before anyone asks, yes I can fabricate and some think I am at least semi smart. I am also in the process of stiffening the unibody frame. So with that being said, I have to admit that in all the years I have messed with leaf and coil suspensions I have never set up a 4 link rear. So I am looking for a little wisdom here for when I upgrade to full width axles front and rear. I have read on this forum a link to a race car outfit about anti squat. I do know it can be a factor. I have an acquaintance who made a 4 link for his street rod that humped up in the rear under acceleration. So it can be a factor. However, I don't really know how much of a factor. So I am looking for a little wisdom here on that subject.

Here is the new track bar. Quality stuff is going in.

Alot of times its easier to find someone who has a good setup and copy it, rather than make up your own.

If your not set on a 4 link, take a look at some of these

Thanks for the link. But I still don't know about this antisquat business. I wold like to know how important it is to pay attention to it and how much I should go for. Thanks.

Rocks? Mud? Street? Cutting the body or staying below the frame? Triangulated four link or with a panhard?

I will be doing it all. I live in an area, NorCal where there are lots of rocks, but travel to the PNW and get in the mud and sand too. So I am looking for all around performance.
