You Don't.
If you take a look at the cars used on the Paris/Dakar rally you will see that the use a 5 link system too.
If you design the drag links so that they slope up towards the front of the car at static suspension height - It will lengthen the wheelbase and add stability when the car lands.
You can also use a 5 link setup to add toe-in under squat for more stability during accelleration.
