To me the way to get the 3 link angle or anti-squat correct is driving. Put in as much downward angle to the front as the truck will handle without hopping the rear end under hard braking. Our stock cars had about 15deg. Again, get in the ballpark on paper and give yourself room to move with your brackets. Then tune from there. JMO Goodluck!
OK, when you say "downward angle to the front", do you mean having the front trailing arm link lower than the rear link? And is this for all three trailing arms, or just the bottom two? I'm trying to picture where the instant center would be...
