I also got my rod ends in from Ballistic Fab, so Ive been trying to figure out my link lengths. :confused2:
just guess on the lengths and build your suspension around the length ... like im doing :o

booty fab as hell ... but mine will be about 40" eye to eye and i will build around that ...

I want my top and bottom links the same length, to help my pinion angle.
The way Im measuring now Im around 30 eye to eye with the 4 link in the front.

werd ... i havent started on the front at all ... and i wont until i finish the rear ...

so mine might be done in 10 years ... :lol2:

im keeping my links the same length for the same reason ... and to make it simple to carry a spare.

1 spare link to keep in the jeep and not worry about carrying more ... maybe 2 spares to make it easier to fix a botched axle.

but i wont have to carry multiple uppers and multiple lowers.

Im hoping I can stuff the tires in the fenders to get some road time. I might have to add another 4 inches to the bottom of the frame to keep it a 31 inches.
