Thats because any car with 45hp wont have a traction issue

you can set a 4 link up to have a lot of lift on the rear end. you can also have it set up to have no lift.

as you said, its all in the set up.

What angle should these bars be ? (same as drive shaft, frame,does it matter)

What length is best?

Can they be too long, too short, too heavy?

Or does the angle determine the length ?

The longer the better- on my CCLB Duramax they will be 7' 1'' eye to eye, putting them almost parallel to the ground when they are mounted! The shorter you go, the more binding issues you have- giving alot rougher ride. I dont see how they could be too heavy though. GOOD LUCK- Steven

with leaf springs, if you mount the bar on top of the axle, the bottom of the axle will want to roll forward still.

here is the thing tho, tubing when under compression forces (bottom mounted) will want to deflect. when in tension (top mounted) its not going to deflect. to over come this problem you go with a heavy enough tube when bottom mounted to prevent the deflection, or go with a triangulated and shackle mounted "ladder" bar set-up.

i had the problem of deflection last year, my bars were made of a smaller thin wall tubing and i have pictures and video showing it bending into a slight arc under full force. i am now building a set of much heavier and longer bars that will not deflect.
