Sorry I kinda hijacked your thread :D

Ok........since you are doing a four BAR setup,that makes life a lot easier :lol:
All four rods need to be level at ride height. Next thing you need to decide is HOW you are going to keep the rearend centered in the chassis. There a couple of different things you can do,depending on how much space you have. You can use a diagonal link,a panhard bar or a wishbone like this...

No need for a watts link or a panhard bar with this setup.....
