parallel 4 link question

if on a parallel 4 link all 4 bars are of equal length, but the front mount holes are about 1 1/2 inches closer together then the axle bracket holes, wouldnt that make the upper bar alittle longer or do you drill the upper hole further back then the bottem hole? DID I MAKE SENSE???

Upper bar would be a little longer. Ideally you will probably want it angled down a couple degrees towards the front of the vehicle in relation to the lower.

The difference in the bar lengths will be so minimal that it's probably not worth worrying about. Hopefully you have built adjusters into the bars and you can fine-tune everything once it's all together.

I believe that is also how an instant center point is found, because the imaginary lines the 2 bars make will eventually intersect. Exact parallel bars will not.... Max will know this for sure though. JR
