The forward torque arm mount defines the IC. I would aim for an IC that returns close to 100% A/S but somewhere about 70%. With a torque arm you are not concerned about brake hop as much as you would be with a 3 or 4 link. Make the shorter outside links horizontal.
I personally like the slider style forward torque arm mount rather than the dogbone.
I see no reason why a truck could not use a torque arm. Weight is an issue and the torque arm would need to be much stonger for a truck, especially since the t/a is longer.
Dont forget, you still need a lateral locating device, panhard or watts. I would prefer watts in this situation so you minimize the side load on the front torque arm mount.
