If you could enlarge this setup, it would work for a prerunner/baja truck. It gives really good lateral control, and keeps the axle centered, unlike a link/ trac bar setup. Oh, and it's called a watts link I guess.

Heres a link that has lots of pics.
Watts Link
If you google "watts link" it comes up with tons of stuff.

i understand that a 6 link is possible, but simpler is always better.
andrew what i see wrong with that setup is that the two centering links would have to be very long, and the frame isn't that wide, so at a neutral position it would try to pretzel the axle.
honestly i don't see how that works that center piece looks like it just connects the to bars making it like one bar.

the best set up for a baja/prerunner rear end will always be a triangulated 4 link or a 3 link
