Adjustable trailing arms

I tightened the adjusters to the joint
Does that look about right?
As you can see I don’t have too much room between the adjuster and the welded nut on the outside of the frame

My adjuster bolts have 2” of threads. The center bolt is 8” in length.

It all depends on your alignment. You should be able to rough that in now right? Just build up the rear end and leave the spring off.

Ya, I got that too. That’s what I did and it didn’t work. The pivot bolt is too short and so are the adjusters. Can it be that my Johnny joints are too narrow, don’t know. They are 2” wide.
I like what you said earlier, 8” pivot and 2” adjusters

Found this.

above is the Guldstrand set-up, the above parts were once mine I had sold, he posted dimensions for me for a car I had that was originally built with this set-up later modified with a 5-link leaving only the 4 nuts welded is, I had everything else made locally...

As you can see in my pics, I only have about 90 thousand left on each side for adjustment. Is that enough?
my johnny joints are 2” wide
