Well, the adjustability is nice to change up your pinion angle, and make up for any errors made in the install, etc. It beats having to cut mounts off after you've welded them in fully and find out that you over looked something.

The wishbone is a good set up, but your mount has to be really strong for the pivot point. Doing seperate bars traingulated, the mounts don't have to be super strong as they do for a single mount, but you still get the same effect. In fact I feel as though it centers and holds the axle better than a single mount point for a wishbone. But that's just my opinion. Others will post up with their own opinions and experiences.

haha. its hard to find the question in there for sure.

if you arent a hard sides hitting person, a tri 4-link with bushings will be great. a wishbone is great for sides when coupled with a super pivot, or when offset to one side of the truck to gain clearance for the gas tank. if you have moved the tank already, then its preference.

as far as adjustable ends, its good to have just in case you need to tweak your pinion angle in case you catch vibration at low ride heights.

The upper adjustable bars on a triangulated setup, not only allow for pinion angle adjustment (which will help you eliminate driveline vibration) they will also allow you (or an alignment shop) to adjust the rear end side to side, to correct the thrust angle, which ensures that the vehicle travels down the road straight and does not dog track!

ok im gonna use the 2 bars insted of a wishbone now im using frotn 4 link brackets like they are using in the minitruckin weekend buildup and bars like thos but there is no way to make them adj ...

I don't have that in front of me, so I don't remember....but didn't they build the bars out of 2x2"????

If so, doesn't suicide doors( and probably other companies as well ) sell a set of bar ends and a weld in bung for that application? If so, yoiu could still build that adjustable.
