Is there a reason why no one mentioned a triangulated 4-link on a dually?  I've been thinking about it because I do not like the side to side movement you get with a panhard bar when the truck is raised and lowered.  My gas tank will be in the bed so there will be plenty of space.  Im just wondering if there are drawbacks to triangulated setups when towing.  Also, I will be using bag-over-axle sleeves.

ok i'll throw my 2 cents in , not saying i'm right. i'm running a parellel 4 link with a watts link, no as for bags i'm going to go with over axel , but still havent decided on what bags to use. someone mentioned the contiteck trippple stack bags, max whats your opinion on them?  because of where i live i need to occasionally go on a ferry and cause of the angle of the dock/ramps i figure i need 10" of usable lift just to get on and off the damn boat without hanging up when towing. any thoughts?

The only reason that would steer clear of a triangulated 4-link on a tow pig is for simplicity reasons. The lateral movement that you will get from a trangulated set up will always be more than a simple pannard bar. They can obviously be built plenty tough for towing, but for the average guy, I would point them towards stupid-simple. You can use the tripple stack bags for sure, but I don't know if they will ride very well without any load on them. Of course my oppinion of riding well is differs from others... If it were mine and I needed to get 10" or more lift, I would run a Firesrtone 20c at a small amount of leverage with a GOOD shock.

thanks max , that was one of my other ideas , putting a 20c on a set of rear dogbone linked bars
