Man looking at all those cinder blocks is bringing back a bad memory. Dropped one on my foot one time while I was barefoot. Long story short, a huge gash in my leg broken toe and a toe nail later everything is A OK. The cool part was that I somehow managed to walk through my house upstairs into the kitchen with a bleeding leg and toe, and manage to not get a drop of blood anywhere. I still dont know how I managed that...

Looking good! I really like it, but I was wondering, and maybe you covered it, but why parallel 4 link instead of triangulated?
This is in no way critical. I am asking because I am toying with the idea for another truck.

if your running one, 3link/4link with panhard is your best bet
