Is this the same as what they advertise as a radius arm upgrade? I dont see what the 4 way link looks before install like in the video. Assuming it's what they're advertising as the 4 link. I'm not sure what i like better, if they're both for the same purpose.. i wonder how either one rides vs the other

This is adjustable unlike the radius arm. If you keep the radius arm but need to adjust the tilt of the axle you need to buy drop brackets vs just adjusting these arms
