Ill have to check them but my rears are like 38\" and the fronts are like 45\" i think

i would keep them in the 36-40\" lenght if you can.  

my front lowers are just too long and 2\" 250wall box was bent after one rec wheeling trip...

wow, you bent the square tube?!  

And square tube is stronger than round tube.  Nuts!



Thanks for the numbers.   Shorter links would be better for me too.  It would allow for a larger skid plate/link mount.

Ill re-work the numbers.

Kind of a dumb unrelated question. How wide is the inside of your trailer? I\'m looking at some options now for a hauler.
