I agree with the rules of thumb that mckeddie. but the calculations are not worthless. Will you be able to get thing perfect.....No. you will have to compromise. by running the numbers and all the scenarios, you will be able to choose where the compromises will be in your system and not be surprised on your first wheeling trip

also, the top links should be 75 to 80% of the length of the bottom links.

I wouldnt be using the calculators if i didnt have to. I have to show there there is technically math involved with all this to show to school. i basically followed this (http://www.therangerstation.com/Maga..._link_tech.htm), which came from 4 wheeler magazine. then fudged the numbers some to make them better for what im gonna turn in to the professors.
