o_O...OK I have been asked a question about my setup and now its bugging the crap out of me...SO heres my question to you guys that have already done this setup.

WHY do ALL of the 4 link setups I see have the uppers mounted so close to the center of the differential on a 14BFF?
I understand it is to keep the axle from moving side to side?

I was thinking ( and this may be my problem) that if I spread them out further on the truss (Artec) that I could keep my COG lower, and yes the gas tank is gone....
This will be a street/trail rig on 40's.

Should I stick with tried and true? or make the move and suffer the consequences?
I have searched for days and have found very little on this exact subject.:popcorn:
 
The uppers are centrally mounted at the axle end to allow triangulation at the frame end. You can run all 4 parallel if you want to, just add a track bar (panhard rod).
That's the short answer.
