Ladder Bar vs 4-Link

Myself, I prefer ladder bars.

I agree with your comments, I've done a lot of chassis work and think that ladder bars are under rated on their performance and simplicity. Way too easy for the average person to get 4 link tune out in left field. Same issue with double adjustable shocks, too many setting and way too easy to end up with crazy setting unless you are very dedicated to lots of testing. We'll probably get a lot of flack on this as an answer but this is the reality of things.
