So I posted this on pirate and haven't really gotten any good answers. Maybe some of you guys can help me out.

Rig is a YJ, SOA front with frenched mounts. Netting about 1-2" total lift. 37" creepy crawlers that measure 35.5".

Do my as and roll center look decent? I think they do. I've read on pirate till my eyes bleed, I think this is a pretty decent setup.
 
I've always heard to keep your bars long and flat as possible. Make the top bars about 70% the length of the lowers. That usually gives good numbers with the calculators.

The only thing I have noticed with the double triangulated set ups is that they tend to have more rolls steer as compared to parallel lower bars.
 
My upper links are about 75% of my lowers. And as to roll steer, With this setup, I have 0 degrees.
 
i may be reading it wrong but is the upper 5" above the axle center? if so i dont think you will be able to get it that low on the diff. and it looks like 5" of separation on axle end that is possible with your set up just do the top links first and put the mounts aginst the floor but if you have to raise your axle end your anti-squat will be way over 100 so you may need to raise the lower on axle end . but like i say i may be wrong!!!
