suspensions for mud drags are going to be setup closer to actual drag racing setups, only beefier, that said parallel 4 link and ladder bar/radius arm setups seem to work best for high speed stuff, remember for the drags you need predictable control, and something that can put the power to the ground and keep it there, which is why huge travel and articulation isn't needed as much in the mud.

I'm going with a radius arm setup front and rear when i rebuild mine.

I use 4-link rear 3-link front in my lasy truck. may consider front and rear 4 link for my new build. I use alot of stuff from auto-fab race cars. they seem to have good stuff with a lot of adjustability..... just what you need when you don't know what your doing!! LOL

Your setup is going to be just like any other race car though.... each vehical is different due to weights, power, gears........ ect. you'll have to play with it to find what works best. do some homework on these types of suspensions. Nothing just "slapped on" has worked unless the person got real lucky

X2. Leaf springs front and rear. Otherwise, radius arms and ladder bars will do the trick.
