Side to Side on Parallel 4 Link

Are there any major issues when you hit sides with this type of link? It would seem like to me that its not that sefe. I will hopefully find out tonight on my truck but just wanted your guys opinions

From experience i can say that parralel 4 links dont side to side as much as triangulated. but that might depend on the distance vertically between the top and bottom arm mounts im not sure. good luck experimenting man!

I got one on a 89 chevy fullsize with a panhard and i hit sides all the time! It don't hurt nothen in fact it works really well! I have like almost no movement of the axle at all. Course it's all in how you install it!

yes depending on how your set up is.. lets say if a try to hit sides on my pro street car, no the links arent set up for it, so the car would just laugh at me. (yes it would really laugh)

The longer the bars and the larger the distance between the mounts, the larger sides you can hit. My parallel 3 link hits enough sides for me though...

more pics of that rear setup?

custom parallel 4 link, rear canti, and watts link. 12" lift frt + back and can lay body one one side and easily clear 3 pop cans stacked under the other. my 4 link bushing sleeves are narrow so that helps but building it for that particular setup is what counts.

there is no difference to the side to side with either link set up. my buddy has it on a full size chevy and it hits killer sides

There was a thread started about this very question about 2 months ago, Is was very in-depth.
