Anywhere to read up on 4 and/or 3 link systems. Not just buildups, but some general principles and stuff like that? Thanks!

Thanks, Toploader you are damn sure right about the BS threads. The Article helped to simplify the design basics but didn't address such things like what antisquat and roll center and all the other little things that I have no idea about and what all effects them. Guess I'll do a lot more reading!!
