Frisbee is long gone from this site.....his truck was sold off too.
I recall reading his writeups and by his own admission he didn't use a lot of "science" when he built his suspension. A lot of it was just what he thought seemed right... it always seemed to me that he'd gotten pretty lucky to have gotten something that worked so well without understanding all of the suspension theory behind it.... then again, using coilovers instead of leafs is a huge step forward. Perhaps there was more that could have been done to improve his design, but the improvement over leafs might have been dramatic enough for him not to care.
Either way, just run it. See what happens and what you like / don't like. It's not the end of the world if it doesn't work well. You've already absorbed most of the costs associated with doing a multi-link setup (heims, springs, shocks, links). If you decide to reconfigure the setup to something non-inverted, the material costs should be minimal....you're just out some of your own time.
