I don't know much about 4 link but do know a little
This is the layout*
Dual triangulated at a total of 47 degrees on top and a total of 45 on bottom
Top links are 37in long from eye to eye*
Lower links 42in eye to eye
The goal was to have both upper and lower the same length but I had to make the lowers longer in order to clear the drive shafts
There is 7in separation at chassis side and 12in at axle side
I wanted little to no squat so I tried to make the links as flat and parallel as possible was able to get 0 degrees on top and 7 degrees on the bottom
And there is no squat very little rear steer and almost no body roll
I shortened the wheel base an inch to a total of 100in wheel base
The only reason I did this was because I have a slip yoke still and wanted it tucked in as much as I safely could
