Default Ladder Bar or 4-link

Looking around at some rear suspension upgrades and wanted to have some opinions on which would be best, ladder or 4-link? Pros and cons to either? This is just a cruiser so dont need anything super buff.

Technically if it is a cruiser you need neither. Just some new leafs, shackels, shocks and perhaps under rider style traction bars and you will have plenty of performance with plenty of money left in the wallet

Nick is right a ladder bar and 4 link are ment for drag racing and make the car ride rough you want a nice smooth ride don't you.

Yeah. Ladder bars though don't let the suspension move like it should for cornering, 4 links are better but still have their limitations. 3-links are a more ideal setup as it lets you have the advantages of forward bite in a 4-link with a no bind setup, so cornering is better.
