I wouldn't think it would matter as long as they are from the same set.

Thank you sir, but mine is too close.  I have come up with an alternative plan, wish me luck...

I am including a picture of my lower control arm of my triangular 4 link.  I am concerned about the angle because it seems to be more than the pictures I have seen, but as you see it runs parallel with the leaf.  I also found this excerpt from a thread on the H.A.M.B

What do you all think?

As long as your upper links are at the same angle or degree as the bottom bars you shouldn't have a problem. I usually leave the nuts loose on all bars so they can turn on the threads if needed to  lessen any bind that might happen.  It wont come out of adjustment by doing this.

Ghost,

Not sure I understand what you mean about same angle or degree.  It is a triangular 4 link and the uppers will be different.

[/quote]  Sorry. I should have said level with each other, Yes I agree the angles will be different as a triangulated.

Thanks Ghost, I had no idea there was so much to learn about this...
