Nothing real special about it. You don't see it alot these days, but a few years back before airshocks and coilovers became big, you saw it from time to time. The big problem with it is that it still kills your approach/departure angle, and it adds alot of weight.

now if you really want to see something weird, look into a transverse spring link setup. Here is an example of one http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=415394&highlight=transverse+spring

A lot of extra work for what a standard leaf spring w/ anti-wrap bar could do. If you're going to 4 link might as well go w/ coilovers or coil springs.

It would be something different atleast. I think it would work alright if designed correctly.

it would work good but with horrible departcure angle, and you have already don't all of the hard work. why not add coils

Having sex with a chicken would be different too, but you don't see me running out to the barn...
