Default what do I need to know about building traction bars?

I'm putting a 4wd wagovan drivetrain in a 91 hatch and I need to build some traction bars/ tube x-member for the front for turbo room and a 1/2 rad. What do I need to know? What are you guys running for size on the link ends and link rod material? any help/pics would be great!

looks awsome aaron, I tried searching because I remember those pics but couldn't find them. Thanks for the offer of building me one but I have to keep the price of this project down, and I like building ---- anyways. I do have to get a adapter plate from you though. Thanks for the pics/info!!

They connect to your lower control arms.
