Proper 4 links need to be thought out.  Pirate4x4 is a good place to start.  Lots of reading to do.

A bad link suspension will perform worse than any factory suspension.

There are no set numbers, each vehicle is different and dependant on what you are trying to achieve.

Pour a cup of coffee and read till you can't read no more on Pirate

4 link on a mud truck is not hard.  What the rock crawlers on pirate are trying to do and mud truck are not the same.  When you see a truck that works they way you want yours to work take a good look "get pic's"  and talk to them.  Leave the internet & coffee at home grab a beer and go to a mud bog thats what i did.

There is TONS of free info out there to read up on making a good performing link suspension... why guess at it.
Spend a little time ul front figuring out what effects what and you will have a much nicer ride and performing truck.
