Really well done truck. Why a triangulated 4 link and not a parallel?

he had a ladder bar with a cross bar before but he wants the truck to handle aswell so he went with the triangulated 4 link so he can try some auto cross. he really wants to try and go into throwdown once its done so he is building it to do everything.
any feed back on things he should do are very welcome

well we got the truck running and driving 2 weeks ago. still working with Justin from black bear on the tune, the truck has no VSS so tuning it is a littler harder then your average truck.
front valence was 1.5" off the ground and with the coilovers stiffened up up front he has only hit it once. he has however raised to to about 2.5"s.
so far he has only brought it up to 5500 rpm and it pulls pretty hard. he will be shifting at 6800 and I know that motor and it loved higher rpms so it should be a blast.
I have another tune for him to try so when I go upload it I will take some pics and a better vid.
here is a little teaser vid. don't mind the kids yelling, they are just excited to see the truck moving cause we figured out its been 8 years since it last moved on its own so the kids have never actually seen it drive before. lol

thanks!!
it doesn't nearly have the rumble or the power of the big block but its still a ton of fun and he has a lot of little things to do on it but he is enjoying it right now.
he is spending the entire day and night today and tomorrow just driving around with his 2 year old son.
I will be meeting up with him so I will get some pics

little update on this truck
I ended up getting a new cam for my truck so I gave my brother my old 230-238 604 604 113. the cam is in and running but still needs to be tuned. its winter here so that wont be happening till spring.
he also got new headlights, signals, front bumper and valence.
I will try and get some new pictures next time I go to his place
