3 link verses 4 link build

[kchusky]

I'm guessing this has come up before 3 link verses 4 link, but I didn't find any threads comparing the two? I have picked up most all of my suspension parts now. The build will not be to wild basic tub style. I plan on using 2" .250 wall box tubing for the axle. 3500# spindles, 3/8" link brackets. Jk Rubicon wheels, 32" BFG's, rear springs~shocks~lower arms also off a Rubicon. And the more I have looked at these parts on the ground the more I want to go 3 link. Any opinions with 3 or 4?

Fix your two outside control arm to the axle and use the center arm as a panhard and call it done.
You will want a panhard anyway you do it, 2, 3, or 4link.

What are you going to use to keep the axle centered?

The bushing and rod end in the pic between the shocks are for the track bar. Going to use 1.5" DOM on it. I do plan on putting 10" electric brakes on it also. So, I believe I will need at least 3 links to keep the axle from trying to spin during braking.
