|  Upper link placement. What works best? Ok, so I know that there are so many factors to consider so I am looking for some general ideas on upper link placement on the chassis. I have a DNA Slingshot that I have played with for a little bit. It is sprung and sits at 2.75". Just want some input for up hill clime settings. Example, front link in the bottom position and back link in the upper and so forth. Is there any benefit to having the uppers as low as possible? Open to any input. Again, I know that this is more technical info needed for the best set up. Just curious to see what some people are running. Thanks |

| I'm supprised there were no replies to this thread by now. Someone suggested to me to run the rear upper links lower on the chassis than the front upper links. I was told this helped with hill climbs. I'm not sure if it is true. I'm running the LS2.0 chassis. Anyone else have insight? |

| I'm no expert in this matter either but I am pretty sure you want your upper links as parallel to the ground as possible. I think some even recommend the axle end of the links to be a bit higher. Are you still running the stock 3 link? I tried to find a pic with the stock chassis(I assume that is what you are using) but this was close enough.  |

At lease that's how I understand it. Squat, and anti-squat are kinda confusing to me. There is a great thread about it around here somewhere but it's a little over my head. Edit, here it is: Anti Squat and Suspension Tech Last edited by BigB_117; 11-04-2009 at 04:38 PM. | |

| Well so I took the advice of Morg59 and searched anti-squat. Good Lord! This thread is 17 pages of technical goodness. Anti Squat and Suspension Tech I 4 linked the front and rear. After reading some pages and diagrams, I changed some link positions. Haven't had a chance to test it yet. |
