Triangulated 4- Link

[davee]

I have a 31 Ford that I want to install a triagulated 4-link in. I have 26 " long bars for the lowers and I need to know what the length of the upper trangulated bars should be? (does the length of the bars matter as long as they are parallel upper and lowers?)

Thanks
Dave

the longer the control arms, the less arch of the rear-end housing youll have, when the body moves up or down, the closer you have the upper bar length to the lower bar the less pinion angle change youll have when the dody goes up and down. the longer the pan-hard bar the less side ways arch your rear-end housing will have when the body goes up and down. something to think about.
