Link seperation

#1
Got my rear frame polished up and wheelbase set with the axles in place. I was playing with where to mount the links tonight and the only definite i have is the lower axle side, but i know where i think i want to mount the frame ends.

How much seperation do i want at the axle?
How much at the frame?
How do i measure it?
Can you have to much or too little?

Any help is appreciated.

Is there a link to what all this stuff like anti squat and vertical seperation means. I am a little too noob to understand all of what your talking about. Why doesn't this setup need a trac bar too?

Vertical seperation is the distance between your upper and lower link mounts. Generlly you want the vertical seperation on the axle 25% of your tire size. The chassis seperation should be 50-60% of your axle seperation. Anti squat and lift has to do with the way your chassis and suspension reacts when you put power to the wheels. This link should be helpful to you.
