Most of the parts I ordered for the rear suspension showed up (pics in the build thread) . I did some mock up and measuring and then messed with my CAD drawing. In the drawing the center of the rod ends are aligned with the centerline of the axle as viewed from the side. The center of the upper link is 8.25" above the CL of the axle and the center of the lower link is 4" below. With a lower link length of 30",the effective length of the upper links at 28". The lower link is drawn parallel to the ground. I ended up with an instant center of 99.5" in front of the axle centerline. The wheel base is 116".

good ? bad ? comments ? I'm all ears.
