    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/showt...nsverse+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.
