I was just wondering how long your upper and lower 4 link bars are and iif your running a tri link or over axle setup??

Though this might make for some good conversation..

As long as possible to avoid pulling the wheels front and back thru-out the suspensions range of travel....and they should not be parallel, but theoretically should intersect in a spot about the grille of the truck.

I now that the bars have to be as long as possible.. i just figured since most of us drive the same trucks i just wanted to see if everyones bars were close to the same length.

I know my lowers are 25" long cause I just redid them,but I'll have to measure the uppers,but my wheels stay centered through out.. I have a 50/50 four link.

i think mine are all 32" and there right at the back of the cab...

Upper bars should be at least 70% of the length of the lower bars on a parallel 4 link.

shouldent the bars cross at the center of gravity while at ride height?...well for a drag car anyways ive nevver bagged a truck with a fourlink.. mabe the geometry is differnt to make it lay out but if the bars intercect at the center of gravity you will have the best launch.

mine are 28" from center of the end link to center of the other end link.

So does your axle have any movement through travel??

the pinion angle never changes.
