5 link questions

I'm thinking about running a five link but I currently have my air tank mounted under my bed behind the roll pan. the location of the tank interferes with the location of the crossmember for the lift bars.

My question is, is there a minimum required length for the rear facing lift bars in a five link? Also if anyone is running a 5 link with their air tank under the bed I'd like to see some pics of how everything's mounted up.

The rearward links do not need to be any specific length, the % of leverage that the bag is on the bar is FAR more important than the overall length. The shorter the bar, the more important the "shackle" length and geometry though.

Mine are only about 24-26" long. I had enough room to put my tank behind the crossmember.
