    I have a fodder load of questions regarding parallel 4 links. So, here i go-
    First, do the bars truely have to be at 0 degrees (or parallel to the ground)? Can I get away with an incline of 2-3 degrees up from rear mount to front mount?
    Second, how long should the bars be? 31 model a 2 x 4 homebuilt frame to original specs, no mods (z-ing or pinches). I read, in the TCI tech article, they should be what equates to about 25 inches from eye to eye.
    Third, what are the ways of thinking regarding the rear mounts. I've seen mounts with the upper eye above the axel. What does that accomplish/ benefit, as apposed to the upper eye on the same horizontal plane as the center of the axel (like I am using - see pics below)?
    Sorry about the fuzziness of the pics. Damn camera phone.
    As always, responses are greately appreciated in advance.
    Thanks,
    Shannon
