4 link question..

I was orginally planning on using an IRS differential but it seemed like more then I wanted to do. Im new to suspension so any advice is well apreciated. I want to build a triangulated 4 link with 2 coilovers for my 59 apache. Im on a minimal budget and want to try and build all the parts myself. For a differential I'm gona try and find an explorer 8.8. They have 3.25" diameter axle tubes. What atracted me to this was this kit http://www.welderseries.com/catalog/...roducts_id=409

I have access to a cnc laser so I want to design my own flat parts then bend them and weld them. In his design the lower bars are about 23 inches long, and the upper bars are about 16". Would these be too short for my truck? He doesnt mention any specific angle to mount the bars at so if anyone has imput on the design aspects that would be great.

The only info I could find on these was for 4x4 setups, Im guessing theyre a little different? http://www.therangerstation.com/Maga..._link_tech.htm
