I don't care for four links. I've been drag racing since 1964. I raced Mopar Super Stockers up until the Chrysler boycott of Pro Stock in '74, when I switched to motorcycles.
Anyway, I'd measure the spring eyes and compare them to the length of Mopar "A" body S/S leaf springs. They can be had for 200 bucks, so if they don't do what you want, you aren't out big bucks.
They will run every bit as fast as a 4 link and last a long time on anything other than an extreme drag race only application. I just saw a 360 Mopar powered D50 this past weekend running 7 flat in the 8th mile with leaf springs, and he was indeed pulling the front wheels all the way through first gear.
I'm spending a bit more on mine, and having Eaton custom build S/S springs for my Arrow, which will run about $400 bucks, but they will be engineering specifically for the truck's weight.
