i think i would rather have a 4-link than ladder bars. sure they might be more involved in getting it set up but when it does you know its going to hold the power. also look for a triangulated panhard bar. that might be your best bet to keep the rear end on track.
also what rear axle are you going to use with it?

The frame attaches to the OEM frame with the 120 degree bends and the 6 1/2" dropped crossmember. Minimum outside width for this frame is 26". It is designed for our part no. 6270 urethane bushed 4-link.

I don't think you would need something THAT radical, but my suggestion would be to go with the 9" Ford housing. MUCH easier to change the gearset to suit your tastes. As far as ladder bar vs 4 link, just remember that with the 4 link, there's an ENDLESS combination of bar lengths, but only a few work correctly. Like I said before, stick with a name brand chassis manufacturer. S&W, Rick Jones (RJ Race cars),Alston, or Morrison will be able to provide the assistance you might need on set-ups.
