Technical Hairpin radius rod

I was bored this week, so I wanted to try and make my own radius rods for my project. I do have one question though. From the center of the tie rod end to where the two bars meet is about 5 inches. I would like some input as whether or not this to much of an overhang. I could shorten up the top bar by an 1 1/4 or so. When I made the bars I was limited on the length of 7/8 DOM that I had on hand.

 

I think it is too much stickin out alone. But I also think the whole lot is a little short. The shorter the pins/bones, the tighter the radius they arc in. The tighter the arc, the more the suspension geometry is compromised.

 

The top bar is 37 1/2 center to center. How much longer do you think it should be?

 

if the top bar is 37.5 ctc make the bottom 37.5 ctoc and see ho tat works , generall , they're the same

Front hairpins are normally 37 5/8 and rear ones are 47 1/2 from Pete and Jake. The bottom bar needs extended to about 2". Just add it to the rear with some more 7/8 tubing s****. I run a solid tube inside when I extend them.

 

I too think that is a little much sticking out. Maybe a couple of inches would be better, because when you add the length of the rod end, it will move it back even more. Here are similar hairpins on my 27.
