While I never really answered your question directly, I suppose the correct answer is "it depends." I am only familiar with MasterSbilt stuff and they are the same left to right (at least on a Smackdown...15.5" bottoms and 17.5" tops). But the mounts have trail built in (at least mine does/did, about 3/4" back on the right side). From there you can always lengthen the right (free up handling) or shorten it (tighten handling), and just the opposite on the left side (shorten to free up and lengthen to tighten). I believe Rocket has a rear suspension that uses 3 or 4 different length links and the LR is actually back 1/4" as compared to the RR at ride height (but don't quote me on that as I don't have any experience with one). I'm enjoying the updates on your progress so far!!!
Thank you thank you thank you!! I have an 02 wide/combo that hasn't been raced since 05, and has been garage kept the whole time. It's like a new car. I've put brand new stuff everywhere. I was just finishing setup the other day, and measured the rod lengths to be the same on both sides, as recommended by the setup book. When I measured from the rear end tube to the lower four bar mounting hole on both sides when at ride height, the LR was exactly 3/" shorter. Now I know why! I adjusted the LR bars so the distances matched, but now I think I will put them back, now that I know! Thanks!
