Ladder bar Q&A

Hey guys. I'm back again with some more questions. I've searched high and low and all over forums for some answers and guidance.

Here's where I'm at. Finally got through building a badass built 383 stroker. Around 545 to the crank.

I was wanting to do a full backhalf but time and money and resources she opted that out. So now I'm looking at ladder bar coilover

For anyone running bars, what length did you personally go with?

I was thinking 34-46" range?

As far as the front brackets, how many holes would be ideal for different settings?

I've read up a lot on instant center. Anti squat line and I know the ideal location for instant center is right at the anti squat line. So therefore does that mean a bracket with more mounting positions is more ideal??

I know the general rule of thumb when setting them up is o have the lower bars parallel to the ground at ride height.

Since I still have leaf springs I know it will be easier to mock up the ladder bars and cross member then once everything is square and fully welded, ree can remove the leaf springs.

So my questions
1. What length bars?
2. What pinion angle should be set before we weld?
3. How many mounting locations do your brackets have/would you recommend?
4. How to go about getting your suspension at or near anti swuat
