This is just a generalization. It may vary for your truck or you may want to do it different. As with everything, everyone has their own personal preferences. Also you have to remember that depending upon where you are putting the bars you may have clearence issues with the bag and the rear tire (if you are running the bars on the outside of the frame). If you are setting it up at ride height remember that with a 2 link type suspension the axle is going to move front to back roughly a half inch possibly more from laid out to aired up. I do agree with FNLOW69 to set up the trac bar at ride height but i always do it laid out. I will put the track bar at the bottom of the driver side to the farthest forward i can on the passenger side 2 link bar. Are you making the trac bar adjustable? We typically dont have alot of movement side to side with the axle through its travel. Good luck with your project. Hope some of my input helped. Any pics would be awesome!!

lowestsixty7: Do you prefer a track bar over a panhard bar?.... to me track bar seem to be a lot more simple to install ? I just never hear of many people using them, and I still dont understand how they keep you centered.
To answer yourquestion, yes my link bars are 40" long from center pivot point to center of the axle.Thanks again, all yours and FNLOW69 input has been very helpfull thank you . pictures coming soon

They keep you centered cause one end mounts to the frame and the others on the link, creating a triangle.
