If a fellow were to SAS a vehicle, say a Tracker, and fabricate a 4-link suspension for the front, would this fellow be better off leaving the back with all the Calmini 3" stuff, or should this fellow do a similar 4-link setup for the rear and ditch the third link?

I would think do a similar 4-link setup for the rear and ditch the third link.

My buddy from the flint area did a four link and his flex diminished. Why do you have some last minite plane's ;)
-
I like the 3 link better, But not the current designs available. Needs longer links and more travel.
-
If you place the pivot end of the links
the same distance as the driveshaft is
from the axle, and the same pivot point
of the driveshaft you don't have any
slip yoke problems, as they pivot the same.
One of my next projects one of these years

i would try to copy cat the RRO coil set up for a sammy. looks easy enough to build.

i modified mine like wild suggested and it works great. however i maade a braket to bolt to my third member and used a hime-jointto conect to the third member. i must confess i didn't think of this my self i got it off a friend. i also moved my axle back 6" and plan on another 6" after my sas. keep the springs because coilovers suck when they get full of mud.

So the goal is to make the links pivot at the same point as the driveshaft?

I wasn't planning on using coilovers, because on top of the mud problem (which is primarily what offroading consists of up here) they're really expensive compared to coil springs, correct?

Nope, just gathering info for future projects :)
In fact, I'm actually thinking of parking the Tracker up north and getting something more reliable to drive for the next year or two.

That would give you the best movement
without dropping the DS on the trail, and
will reduce the driveline angle to the minimum
