[QUOTE="kturner, post: 269736, member: 2056"] If you can imagine looking down on youre suspension links , the point at which the lower links (drawn or extended until they touch together) converge in reference with the rest of the chassis.The point that these links converge is a imaginary line in which the axle will articulate.You want the rear links to converge close to the front of the chassis versus being close to the rear. I didnt have enough seperation on my lower links or on my upper links. So either youre upper links or lower links depending on how youre designing the suspension will need some seperation where they connect at the chassis. My last rig as i said we did double triangulated and the lower links had four inches between them where they mounted to the cross member and the upper links had four inches between them where they connected at the differential so it had alot of body roll.This is why i say the roll axis was out of wack.Make sense ?
