suspension Choice??????
 
well i think its time for a suspension upgrade for when i finish my engine build. currently its a 2001 dakota with the 3.9 v6, but on the motor stand sits a 5.9L that i will be building pretty stoutly ( have not decided which direction to go yet tho (hi comp na, tubos, blower?)
truck will be mostly street with few strips days. trying to keep it a daily driver but fuel may kill me haha. so with that being said...
leafs got to go... trying to go in frame (fuel cell will be behind rear between frames) so i can mini tub it. im stuck between a few set ups. parallel 4 link (great for strip), parallel ladder bars ( great for strip, bad for street) tri 4 link, or tri ladder bar ( by that i mean front of ladder bars are brought in near the drive shaft for better articulation.
im leaning towards the tri 4 link but hold are they for the strip? or the parallel 4 link but worried about bind during daily driving plus they will be easier to install. all set ups will have coil overs by the way.
what are all your thoughts?????

no one has an opinion which set up would be good for street/strip??? doesnt have to be dodge. just looking for ppl who has experienced any of these and see any cons/ pros.

Well the crown vic uses a style of parralel 4 link with a watts link. The A and G bodys use a triangulated 4 link and panhard bar along with the 78?+ mustang. The 99+ tahoes also use a triangulated 4 link with panhard bar but that geometrys kinda messed up. They all have their pros and cons.
