Parallel 4 link rear suspension?

Has anyone seen a kit for a parallel 4 link rear suspension? I'm thinking it could easily be done with a couple of brackets and a lower link to replace an upper link per side. It could be a bolt-n and would use the stock upper mounting locations to hold the brackets that hold the new upper link.

Easy huh? Especially considering the alternative 3-link calls for welding, drilling rust-encouraging holes in the chassis, and ride suffers from the solid bushings.

Where would you mount the upper link to the unibody? Seems to me you would need to cut into and rework the storage bin area.
