Parallel 4 link suspension

Looking for input. Anybody tinkered with a parallel 4 link in a 4WD pickup. Got this idea floating around in my head for something like that with a full air ride setup. Not ot jack up the truck or to slam the truck, just to enhance the ride and handeling, and be different.

I'm doing a hybrid 3/4 link on a 72 F100 4x4, that way it triangulates itself and you don't need any extra linkage to make it work. A parallel 4link needs a track bar or Watts linkage.
