Does anybody have any advice on the relationship between control arms on a true long arm 4 link system? I get the idea and all but I'm lookn for a dumbed down version. Example: how long do the uppers need to be compared to the lowers? I've heard 70% the length. I'm lookn for real world users that have bought/built a true longarm 4 link and how you like them/ built them

To bring this up to date, I've drilled out power steering pump, shimmed the piston, added power steering cooler. At idle in park I can easily turn it with one finger, with 38s. Swaped radiator for an xj postal vehicle radiator, stays cool, fans running and keeping tranny an PS cool. Got limit straps made. And got new wheels and tires
