Sounds right to me. My understanding is you want the front and rear yokes parallel under power. So the amount of extra angle you put on the rear yoke will vary slightly from car to car depending on how much rear end wrap up your particular suspension, etc. has under power.

What do you guys think about ladder bars. I'm going to back half my car next year with the plan of running 10.90 some day.

RR are ya leaving in the leafs?

makes a difference....

also guys you need to wiegh your car front to rear four corners etc,,, find the IC (instant center) then you can calculate the angle and the hole location for your four link,,and it is very usful with the ladder bars..

Back to Robbie,, the cost difference between the ladders and the 4 link is minimal at most,,, go with the 4 link if at all possible.

hell send it up here i meet ya and will do it for ya.....
once ya go 4 link ya never go back

How much to do a back half? I got a guy here that will do it for 2k. That includes the sheet metal work. I have the shocks, panhard bar and ladder bars already. I guess I could use the rod ends for the 4 link ends.

He used to work for someone in Florida and just moved here to Phoenix. He's just getting his bussiness started so he wants to get his product out there for people to see ASAP. I've seen some of his work, it looks great.
He is doing my 8 point roll bar and replacing part of my floor (rust) for $650. He seams on the up and up.
