Wishbone VS 4-link

I'm trying to decide how I was to do my rear end now. I'm definatly doing my RE8s on my lower bars. What are the pros and cons to a wishbone vs. a 4-link.

I'm thinking about doing a wishbone with a super pivot on the single end where it comes to a point and 2x2 square lower bars with super pivots on the axle end so my lower bars don't rotate and twist my bags. My bags will be mounted on the lower bars centered between the joints. My rear shocks will also be mounted on the bars close to the bag.

I like how this guy has his rear set up. I'm looking to do mine pretty close to this.

RE8's halfway up the bars will make for a very floaty ride....but will give tonned of lift. As for the pros and cons, well do you mean a parallel 4 link or a triangulated one....

Triangulated 4 link. I figured for the floaty ride so I planned on using adjustable shocks so I could change the dampening to make it a little stiffer or softer if I needed.

I dunno about floaty... re-8's are pretty big bags, on the rear of a mini. 2800 lbs per bag, my whole truck weighs just a little more than that.
IMO leveraging them on the bars like that will ride just fine, but i don't like a stiff ride.
Currently i am running a wishbone, but it's different than that picture. my one wishbone point is on top of my differential, and the two other points are on top of my upper bag brackets. sorry i don't have a pic.
I have had a triangulated 4-link and changed it to the wishbone, and can't say i personally would prefer one over the other. i'm a fan of both.

wishbone and triangulated upper bars both do the same thing in the same way. it is just a different way of doing it. and also, most of the reason to use a wishbone is to be able to use the wishbone on top in a way where it won't interfere with the location of the stock gas tank

The gas tank was another reason for a wishbone. With one like the pic I posted I would have to modify the corner of my tank, but that wouldn't be too difficult to do. I plan on getting a fuel cell eventually, but I want a custom sized aluminum tank that will fit in place of the spare tire. I want it to fit under the bed and not hang down to where you can see it under the truck. I just need to find a place that can make me one to specific dimensions.

It will be floaty beacaus the 8's require less psi to get to the same height...and the less pressure you run the softer the ride will be....

suicidedoors makes cusom wishbones to your specifications, meaning you can make it so it will not interfere with your tank at all and still work just the same

gravity5... With my plans to mount re-8s on my lower bars, do you think it would be better to move them back a little further? I had planned on mounting them halfway down the bar. Maybe a little further down will make it ride a little better since it would take more pressure to get it to ride height.

This will be my first bagged truck, aside from my old Del Sol that was on cylinders. I want to get it set up right the first time and not have to do it again.

I'm putting 215/60/15s on my pathfinders so when I switch to 5 lug I can mount up some 225/40/18 and it will still lay frame granted nothing gets in the way.

The largest difference between a wishbone and a triangulated 4 link is the amount of articulation you can get from each system (more from the 4 link). For most peoples purposes, either will work just as good as the next.
