For the situation you have a tri 4 link will be tough. I would do a standard 4 link with level lower links at ride height. Make the lower links 30-34 inches long. Make the uppers 70-100% of that length. Set the instant center at about the bell housing of the top hole and just lower the second adjustment hole about .75 of and inch on the front upper mount on the chassis. Then build a pan hard bar that is level at ride height and as long and low as possible. Then mount the shocks as far out on the axle as possible.

This is super basic set up that will get you started, Could you design way more high tech set up sure, But at the end of the day this car will never sit on the Pole at Daytona.

Key points - level lower links and pan hard bar at ride height. The longer the panhard bar. The longer the links the better the ride quality. I have been told that after 34 inches it does not matter. Ideally you want the center of Gravity below the Roll center.

Ready Set Go
