This question has been asked MANY times, probably once weekly. If you went back a page or so or searched you'd see that the answer is "It Depends"

It depends on how your chassis is set up, how long you want your wheelbase to be, whether the holes for your uppers are further forward or back than your lowers, it all depends. Mock it up, take measurements and start makin em.

Mine are 7.5"

We can't tell you without exact dimensions of your chassis, and your plan on how you are going to mount the links. If your chassis is 15" long you'll only need 1" links. On the contrary, if your chassis is 1" long you'll need 15" links. That was an exaggeration, but see what I mean? Link lengths are totally dependent on the way your chassis is set up.

It is near impossible to give you accurate measurements of how long your links should be without actually seeing your setup in real life. If you want us to do it for you, you'll need to give highly detailed pictures with dimensions labeled. Then say many please and thank yous because this requires a bit of thinking. You could also research the subject yourself. Then come up with what you think are the right measurements, and have us double check.

Check out THIS thread.

It may help. ;)
