it all depends on your shocks, the axles your using, where your mounting them is it triangleated, how long a wheel base you want and the ground clearence you want.

Hey Oat, give the kid a break, he only has 7 posts for god's sake!

Not that I disagree with you but ease up a bit...

Davey, It is very useful while asking questions to list the exact intent of what you are trying to do, vehical involved and the like...

Good luck. G.

OK!!!!!

I was wondering how long I should make my suspension links on my clod buster? I'm buliding a custom bulit chassis and I'm not really for sure how long to make the links.

its ok but wheel base and ground clearence and shocks and stuff are all important

people wont awnser so read some of the older post and figure out a wheel base mine was 10 inches but i had a bad time with body roll so i made it longer dont rember what is is now so look and see what others are and find some shocks you wand to use and get back to us

So, How long is your Chassis? Take that and subtract it from 16" Then divide it by two and you have the length you need for each side...

Hope that helps....
