HAHa. First run all the bars one direction like all forward or all backward, second u cant weld to the diff so u will have to run all links on the axel shafts so if u do an all reverse 4link i would do bags infront and under the axel prolly.

Personally I would run all 4 bars forward....

run all bars forward, and the diff shouldnt be welded on, we made a wishbone 4 link for a customer, and bent up a tube to go around the diff and weld to the axle tubes, that way the point of the wishbone can still be over the axle so you wont have driveshaft clearance problems.

def do all forward 4 link. reverse is not the way to go. i did a ton or reasearch on it. reverse will work fine but it jsut isnt right according to all the info i got on it. so here u go read this so i dont get a whole ordeal on reverse setups.
