[QUOTE="nick c, post: 1204061, member: 16567"] Paging dr Jason C, Crash and other link guru's. We did some measuring last night so I can order up my link matterial. I know about all the 'magical' calculators but I'd like opinions from those who actaully build link suspensions that I have seen work time and time again. I've been told by some others that I want my links to be equal length front and rear (so a 50/50 split). I've also been told a 60/40 is better for the trails around the NW. With our current estimated wheelbase, I'd have a wheelbase of ~112"-116" depending on where things fall. Going with a 50/50 we are looking at the following lengths.We are shooting for a front and rear inverted 4-link. Uppers 31.5" Lowers 45" so I have two questions: 1 - What would you consider too long of a length? 2 - How do you build your links front to rear length, a 50/50 or 60/40 or how ever they fall?
