Torque Arm Help

[Bad94]

Im looking at doing a torque arms set up on my 94 S-10. The truck has a 60/40 weight ratio. The bottom of the frame is 5" off the ground at ride height. The wheel base is 108".

The longest i can make the lower links are 26"
What is the shortest i could go?
How long do i want the torque arm itself?
How high off the ground do i want it mounted?


I will be building everything adjustable. But i just need help getting it close.

Also i will be running coil overs.


I would do a 3 link but i dont want to cut the bed.



Any help would be great.

Thanks Dan

try downloading the performance trends software trial version, i think it still has a 9 day trial, and you should be able to figure out a design in that timeframe.

i have a lowered lightning, which is getting a 3 link, without cutting the bed. not quite as low as your S10, but i would think you could probably get away with it, unless its got a c notch.

if you use 2 links then a torque arm its a 3 link also think about a watts link they work great.

I just downloaded that and its only the front suspension.

And yea my truck is lot lower then ur will be. my top of the pumpkin is about 2" off the bed floor, and i have a c notch.

the newest version has full vehicle as an option, you can choose to analyze the front, rear, or all 4 corners at once.

you might poke around over at corner-carvers... they have a section on custom suspension builds.

You have to select Advanced in the menu then turn on the rear suspension function.
