Ok guy I need pros and cons on setting up my 4 link. I realy dont want to move my gas tank so I was told to do a reverse set up. I have heard alot of bad things about doing it reversed. So what are the pros and cons of either setup.

Your better off trying to run a wishbone 3 link if you want to keep the gas tank in the stock location....

Here is a good example of a foward and reverse 4 link setup watch the video..

what about doing a 50/50 lower bar going towards the front top going to the back?

50/50 doesn't really control much and you probably don't want your axel twisting funny. all bars going the same direction would be better.

pinion angle is the worse part of a 50/50.

my buddy has been running a 50/50 for almost 3 years and its his daily and no problems.

Take a read over my research paper on forward 4 link suspensions and that may give you some insight into your questions...

There is a reason why manufactures don't do it.

yeah those videos should be enough to make anyone rethink about doin a reverse four link ......
