four link bars

i am building a parrallel four link for my chevy fulsize 91 i need to kno the length of the bars my friends thinks 32 inches but i wanna be sure cause the bars are stainless and i only got one chance if i cut em too short

the longer the better. What type of stainless are you using?

Get the tape out and measure for your specific application. Most of the trucks I have done for myself have been 40" or longer

im not sure what type of stainless it is but i got the whole setup for 15 bucks a buddy of mine who works at a machine shope made all the parts for my friend and then he went with a kit and sold me the stainless ones for 15 bucks just to get rid of it... what do u mean the longer the better they cant just be any length cause the wheel wouldnt be centered right?

oh and i forgot to mention i am gonna use the stock leafs mounts up front and just add on to them for the top mounting brackets so that will be a factor in how long they can be too

measuring would be a great idea

You can move the hard mount point on the frame anywhere you want to. The lower bar mounts on my 4 door were under the rear seats the bars were 46" long

mine are about 26-27" long.

the pinion wont change, if the bars are setup right, the only problem you'll have is a greater arc in the suspension travel with shorter bars and a good amount of travel.
