I had this in the other 4 link question thread but no one answered any of my questions. I am needing some answers if y'all would not mind. Any help would be fantastic as I am now thinking about pouring gas on the rig and lighting a match.
Is there a problem to making the upper links less than 40*? I was really wanting to run my lowers out to about 55" but, if I make my uppers at 38.5" ( 70% of the lowers) they will not be at 40*. Also, is there an idiot proof way to tell if my measurements will work or not? The reason I had wanted 55" lowers is that would put my lower links about where the arc of the rear driveshaft is. I read that the separation of the links on the frame of the vehicle should be 50% of the distance on the axle is this correct? I will end up with about 10" of separation on the housing and I was planing on 5" in the center of the rig. Do I need more at the frame? What about when I do the front? My lowers were going to be triangulated and the uppers were going to be straight with the frame rails. What should the % be from the lowers? Do I need a track bar in the front with the triangulated lowers?
Thanks for all the help.
