Looks good. Any reason why you didn't go with a triangulated 4 link, so you could have got away with out running a bar?

I dunno. Never thought about that. This seems simplier to setup at least to me.

Everything about the geometry of a triangulated 4 link is just wrong! He'll probably run a track bar which will keep everything nice a square with no bind or side to side movement.
