one thing about a 2 link. if you mount the bags on the links, mount them back atleast 1/3 of the links and mount the shocks as far back on the links as possible. since the pinion angle changes so much with a 2 link, set it at ride height and drive it at/or just about that height or you could have driveline vibrations.. and make sure you keep an eye on the front shaft into the tranny because it will move in and out of the trans a couple inches through all the way down and all the way up movement.
the best set up for that would be a watts link or a track bar. the track bar goes link to link at a diagonal, which makes a triangle that doesnt allow any lateral movement of the bars.
