Is there a big difference between 2 and 4 link.
But out of those how many of them break. Sure millions of people use a screw driver as a pry bar. On chassis work and geometry well a 2 link is not better than a 4 link. Therefore 2 link chains give you twice the amount of cross chain as 4 link hence more traction. A 4 link setup on the other hand attaches to an axle at two separate points and then to the chassis. I would rather spend the money rather than waste it on a 4 link and later having to buy the 2 link.
