Ok ive done quite a bit of research on 4 link geomeotry. im gonna triangulate the rear uppers, straight lowers.(daily driver) being theres not enough room to properly triangulate the front uppers, can u triangulate the front lowers and straight uppers? Whole idea is to remove front trac bar.

Acctually there is enough room to do the uppers....its EXTREMLY tight and if your lift height agree it is almost imposible but you can do it. As for switching things around, plug it all into a calc and review your results. If you have a good undestanding of link set-ups, than your current knowledge should tell you yea or nea...

Ill get more into this when Im off work, but in the mean time review things on the calculator. Pay attention to Roll axis and antisquat.

Test question: If you triangulate your front links and remove the track bar, what are you going to do for steering?
