It is a 2 link, the pan hard bar isn't counted. They get the job done but are the bastard child of link set ups. They aren't the best at power handling, they are very hard on drive line angles, they don't ride the best, they just don't do anything all that well.
A three link would be a much better and fairly easy change and that would just involve another bar at the top of the diff and putting pivot points on the lower bars. You would be much better off.
Again nice truck but I surely wouldn't run a 2 link while spending so much time and money on everything else.

I am not as big a hater as many on the 2 link and for a low cost easy set up it does well enough. For me if I was doing such a nice truck i would upgrade the set up.
I can also fully respect the "turn heads" and keep it simple for sure.

You havn't talked much about link suspentions then. A spring 2 link is a much better option then a bagged 2 link but they still aren't all that good. Especialy if you want to keep dumping power under the hood. Again it will get the job done but it just isn't the best option by a long shot.

A truck arm/trailing arm suspension setup works VERY well, they can put the power to the ground in a strait line and in a performance handling situation. They have very good geometry and are easily adjusted. Thrust angle is adjusted by how high or low you mount the front pivot and roll center is where you mount the track bar. And with the arms mounting right behind the trans, it keeps the drive shaft and U-joint angles very much in line. 
EZ stuff. I've worked on NASCAR setups using this very same designed for YEARS, putting 800+ HP to the ground and it is definitely not inferior by any means. 
It's a VERY nice truck Aaron!
