|  Question about upper/lower links... I don’t imagine there is any reason to achieve more than 60 degrees or articulation. So what is the benefit of changing the upper links to a 4 link and bringing in the lower links at the skid plate? Is it less bind or less strained articulation? Thank you. |

| Now that I think about it more. I am guessing it is to achieve more combined articulation in the front and rear at the same time. As the front is sitting at a 60 degree angle, you are limited to the angle on the rear do to the bind in the chassis and link angle. With the better linkage setup, you may be able to achieve 45-60 degrees at the same time in the front and rear. Am I on the right path with this idea? Thank you |

The reason to 4-link the and triangulate the lowers is to lessen torque twist and limit axle steer.
