Caluclate A/S the same way as a 4-link, using the rear tire contact patch, the CG and the IC. The IC is the pivot point of the torque arm.

I personally like the slider style rather than the dog bone style (like you have pictured).

I would go with a longer TA than you have shown. But that is dependent on packaging. Also offset it to the passenger side of the driveshaft if you can.
Man, those were the days man. Seriously dont ever put her down, hold as much as you can. Before you know it she's going to be 4 then 14. Cherish it brother.

What are your thoughts on a truck arm? I know it was mentioned earlier on in the thread but, it was brought up in another thread and after looking at it, seems to be a little more stout, especially for the wieght of the Tahoe. The ease of installation compared to fabbing the mount for the rear section of the TA seems to be a bit more involved and space is a factor. Seeing that I dont have a Ford 9", making some sort of mounting bracket is going to be a hurtle. I had contacted HotRodtoHell and they can make a complete weld in truck. I'm just not sure. They say it can handle any abuse I can throw at it.
I would like to get some pros opinions before I consider diving.

Thanks again for the info, I appreciate it.
Happy Turkey Day
