Default 4-link setup

I know I've read that the bottom and top links should be the same length for optimum articulation. But, what if you're using bent links for the lower 4 links for more ground clearance? Are the upper and lower links supposed to still be the same length? Or should the lower links be slightly longer, since they are bent?

Just measure end to end, not along the bend. It doesn't change the geometry if theyre bent.

This is probably the best thread for setting up 4-links I have seen. Should have all the info you need.

4-Link 101?
