Is there a minimum verticle separation that you would recommend between the upper and lower links at the axle and frame ends? In the off-road world it was 25% of the diameter of the tire you wanted to run at the axle and whatever you had room for at the frame. I havent seen it mentioned here. Also, do you think that running a non-parallel, non triangulated 4 link like your fat bar appears to be, offers advantages over a regular 3 link other than the obvious that it puts all the links outside the frame and adds a bit of strength. I'm not downing the idea, I just have been thinking about it alot lately. In fact I was set on a triangulated 4 link, but now am leaning more towards this set up with a panhard.
