Yeti Trailing arms on 10.2? (suspension geometry and stuff)

[TITANIUM94010]

So I'm making a prerunner build, and would like to install Yeti trailing arms, or at least the SSD ones made for the Yeti.

Measurements are for the Raw Builders Kit

Eye to eye length of the trailing arms is 141.5mm,
Stock 10.2 rear lower links are around 134.5mm
thats about a 7mm increase in length

I think I'm going to have to increase the upper lengths too so angle of the driveshaft will be the same to avoid rubbing or not fitting.

The stock upper links are a little harder to measure due to them being slanted on one end, but I got around 125-126mm.
If I add 7mm to that, I get 132mm
The rod ends for the upper links are both around 20mm long
So if I ad 40mm to the 94mm lower links
(since I plan to use the stock lower links as the replacement upper links to compensate for the added length from the trailing arms)

I get 134mm, which is 2mm shy of the "perfect" length of 132mm long upper links.

I should be fine having the upper links being 2mm longer right? It probably shouldn't mess with suspension geometry too much but I could be wrong. A little help?

Thanks.

It should be ok, assuming your ride height will be lower then a stock rtr. Could always shave a touch off of a rod end if its not perfect.

Why not use wraith trailing arms like these --> https://jecracing.com/products/trailing-arms-stainless ?

Wraith trailing arms or even twin hammers. VP made both. If you could find the Currie axle that thing is super nice too. I saw a prerunner build with one. Looks legit

When I ran yeti trailing arms on my 1/6th build i just used the yeti uppers aswell
