V-Link Track Bars....small issue

WELL...got a question. I wanted to run a V-Link Track bar.....(Triangulated Upper control arms) for my rear axle. WELP...my gas tank had other plains with my idea. Its all up in the way. I wanted to run one piviot point on the axle and two points off the frame X-member. What I was thinking, could i reverse this idea and go backwards? Like to the X-Member above the hitch? Or would that bind? I was also looking at using my u-bolt studs and make a plate. Then build some links that run to the frame right before the fnt spring hanger. (Good mounting point with lots of holes!) Would this be too short? Any input would be great.......

ya..you'll need to run that forward...running the upper link back toward the hitch will cause HUGE bind problems....
