Anyone ever three or four link there fornt end?

I have a 86 f150 and im planing on doing a dana 44 sas this summer. I made my mind up, and i decided on three linking the front, instead of radius arms. Right now, im just researching and playing with different designs.

Just wondering if anyone else here has dont something simular?

nope its never been done in the history of off roading... all right all jokes aside, i dont think ive ever seen a write up here about it... i would check pirate though... yes weeding through all the b.s. can be a pain. But every once in a while you get some great info.

Quadzjr, the pictures in your profile look great! looks like your going all out. how much of a lift will that end up being? Im just wondering becuase im planing on 6 inches, and im going to try not to build a subframe for ground clearace sake. id love to hear the measurements to get a ballpark. Are you running into any claerance issues?
