without reincarnating the suspension GOD thread i need some 4 link front and rear design help

i made a mock up this weekend both ways ( IVI and XX ) and either way i can make my links same length front and rear top and bottom (about 52") is this too long ???

(in the front this lines up with with the CV joint in the driveshaft.)
throughout travel there is less than 1/4" silp required in the driveshaft

(in the rear the frame mount for the links is 12" in front of the CV)
throughout travel there is 1 1/2" silp required in the rear driveshaft this is still alot less than even the factory setup (i could move the rear links back in line with the CV but them link lenghts would not be common front and rear

dazed and confused
(my Jeep looks funny with wooden axles)

no, 52" is not too long, and make the rear longer if you have room because it only means more flex. I wouldn't worry about having the control arms the same length because you shouldn't break them. Why are you worried about driveshaft slip? You can have people build you d-shafts with 12" of slip if necessary, not that i would go that far but if it slips 4-6" and you still have adequate spline contact i wouldn't worry so much. go for the extreem and only look back to laugh!

true on the slip i was just trying to keep the pinion pointed at the CV throuout entire range of travel
