Default 4 link question (TLT)

Does a person use the stock mounts for the 4 link on the tlt? (Im extending it, and running a custom chassis). The mounts are angled and seem way to tight and binding to use it like that. Whats a person usually do in this situation? I was thinking about straighting them on the axle, but thought Id ask before I start drilling holes. Thanks

The angled ones are for the upper links, and you have to have your links triangulated, so have the uppers go towards the center of the chassis, and have lowers go towards the outside of the chassis. If you don't want to do that, buy some of the upper link mounts like what Bender sells. I believe MSD also sells some.

The way I understood it and the ones I tend to have seen had 2 of the links go from a plate by the servo to a crossmember that ran from one side of the chassis to the other, (In a v shape),then a link by each shock mount, to the bottom outside of the chassis... This isnt correct??

that sounds about right .uppers are usually inner and lowers are usually outer( so it doesn't rock back and forth).
