I wouldn't worry too much about end link length. I used to run extremely long end links to keep my swing arms above the tie rods with no issues. In fact, longer links will give more fudge room for the rod ends to not bind. The little itty bitty short ones I run now had to be just right to not bind anywhere in travel.

Length of swing arm is a big one though and was my motivation to run mine under the steering.

I've measured to get an idea of arm length but that's just bending the tape measure & picking a possible C/L for the bar/mounts.

Good info to know on the links length. I wasn't thinking about the longer links helping from an alignment perspective.
