Parallel 4 link questions / vs radius arms

Hey guys,
Have been doing a lot of research all over the net on different forums about parallel 4 links. Can't really find much information on if squat and anti dive and all that crap matters so much with a parallel set up. I no its very important for triangulated set ups but it seems like a parallel set up is more like a radius arms. I am currently putting an 05 super duty style radius arm mount on a dana 60 and am stuck between setting it up as a radius arm with adjustable top links or just separate and make it a 4 link. Truck will be going up to roughly a 9" lift, 38-40's, probably 14" travel shocks unless I magically find money for coil overs

Truck is mainly for mud and rough trail riding, more of a woods truck then a daily driver

Kinda what I'm thinking (just click link/thumb)

Thanks guys, pictures, advice, critique all very very welcome

Join over on Pirate, you will find a lot more useful information for your question and help.

What's making you change up what you have, other than putting in a d60?

Already over at pirate that where I do most of my learning/reading. Why change, not really all that happy with my set up. Its a good road set up but short arms bayonnet style stops flex and isn't any where near as good offroad as a long arm for any terrain. I really need one ton set up any way as soon as I finished my lift I was kicking myself for not doing a 9-12" lift. Need bigger and as soon as I put 38-40's on that 44 and put the petal to the floor I know Ill be draining the life out of it. I figure I might as well do it right this time and just go to a one ton, more versatile rig.

Also with my current set up the 36's rub the stock arms which drives me crazy, I would really like cage arms but can't justify spending a grand on arms
