Would 28.75" be a good length for the lowers- that makes the upper effective length 80% of lowers ?

In the drawing, the frame starts to widen from 30" to 38" at a point 18" in front of the axle centerline for clearing the 29" diameter tires.

This may sound weird, but I'm getting excited about the possibility that this is going to work out well.
Nothing sounds out of whack... Just curious, if the frame starts getting wider 10" back from your lower bar mounts, how do plan to attach them to the rails?

Hey, being excited is always better than worried....
