Default 4 link length

hi i live in holland and there are not many crawler guys out here
i am currently building a clod based crawler and a friend of mine designed a chassis for it
my question is
most of the guys here have shorter 4 links in front and longer in the back is this better or is the same lenght all around better
i am still in the works so i can shorten them if needed
thanks

most run 50/50 or 60/40 weight balance the reason for longer links in the rear is to keep the weight on the front. if im wrong some one corect me

its easyer to shorten then to make longer. some people like long links some like short ones as long as you do a triangulated 4 link which means your top links are in a v shape youll be fine. what kinda rod ends are you gonna use
