The upper link, or links will try to pull out to the rear from windup and jerks on shifts. Lower links as close to the contact patch as is possible. Set it on a triangular wood block at about ride height, and adjust the front of the rear end link attach points at the chassis, to take out all roll over steer that may be in it now. If anything a hint of roll under-steer in the rear is OK. Same at the front end. A hint of under-steer, so the pig wants to go straight all of the time. Keep the flange on the diff parallel with the front face of the trans. If the three links cannot do it use a Watts link for the top link. Only copy stuff off of cars that are faster than yours.
