control arm length

[tusk762]

does anyone know the formula for finding out what length my control arms should be,i'm hanging my 14 bolt with 8" coil springs and need to find out what length on the arms for my 4 link

There's a loaded question...

All depends on your design and you want them to be.

Normally I'd say the lowers are about 40", and the uppers should be around 70% the length of the lowers.

Good luck!

There's no "rule" about how long they should be. I would say, build them as long as you can that will still package onto the rig (within reason)

That article is a good general guide..

like the guys said bfor... and also, the more horizontal you can get the arms at ride height the better aka the longer u can make them
