Default Shock advice with custom 4-link

Alright, so here's what I've got so far, any ideas on shocks/suspension setup?

looks interesting. have you checked to make sure the 4-link doesn't bind? the front looks like it would articulate weird but would work, but the rear looks like it would bind up bad and not articulate right, but i may be wrong, i'm no suspension expert. props for originality though

so far I haven't had any binding, but then again, haven't really been able to test it.

I tried this method before with two brackets coming up but it didn't work out too well. The front basically needs the brackets but the rear axle can be flipped to attach the links TO the axle, instead of brackets.

Check out what i did:
anyone rotate the rear axle?

Worked flawlessly ever since i did this mod. The rear flexes really nice and smooth.
