a 2 link is a cheap way for a shop to make money. you think they care if your rear end shifts? no.. as someone who does work on the side, it is a quik way to make money.. you can set one up HALF way decent and not EVER have ANY problems, but they are NOT the thing for the job.

because it is a super cheap and easy way to not have to move the gas tank. That is the ONLY REASON.

Pinion angle on a two link is only correct at one height. If it is correct all the way down it will be wrong all the way up, or vice versa.

The more lift you have with a two link, the more your pinion moves.

There is no articulation from side to side with a two link, there is only flex in the bushings or your frame.

Its easy. Thats all. No advantages whatsoever except time and cost.

You're just as ignorant (and apparantly arrogant) as the rest of 'em. 2 Links and ladder bar suspensions have their place on vehicles, but certainly not bagged vehicles or vehicles with crazy amounts of suspension articulation. Just because a shop does it or you see it at a show does not make it right. If everyone lived by that rule, then we would have a pretty shitty sport (as if it wasn't bad enough already).
