I along with a crew about 3 other guys have setup several single triangulated suspensions on jeeps/ crawlers.

Everytime we spent atleast a day on the cpu trying to get numbers right and then end up with a totally different number on the rig compared to the cpu. Normally, because we had to relocate brackets which made things longer or shorter.

Your uppers look a little short to me. Which imo will create some body roll issues. If I remember right (it's been a while), we tried to keep the lowers and uppers as close to the same length as possible.

I also noticed it looks like the center point of your triangle will be on the frame, we always did the point of the triangle on the axle and made the wide spot on the frame.

Our goal when setting up a 4 ling was this-
1- uppers and lowers at the same angle
2- try not to exceet 10 degree slope when sitting on flat ground (but not be flat).
3- keep everything as long as humanly possible.
4- keep everything as wide on the axle as possible (not the shocks, just the links).
5-I am no expert, and take my advice as a guy who has had his hand in a few jeeps after beer 30.
