Default 4 linking the front jeep rubicon scx10

Are the front lengths the same measurements as the rear when 4 linking the front? I'm using the stock plastic links as a template,making them from all thread and 5037 rod ends

When using the Axial 4-link truss in the front the upper links are 3/16"-1/4"(5mm- 6mm) shorter then the lowers.

These are the stock lengths taken from the Axial 12.3 in link set.

The front upper links are 104mm and the front Lower Links are 122 mm.
The rear upper links are 119mm and the rear lower links are 130mm.

The stock lengths don't clock the axle enough to get a good drive line angle.
I would follow R2J's advice and make the upper links about 1/4 shorter than the lower ones.

STRC just put out a 4 link plate for the front. No idea how it is but maybe could look into it.
