A arm swing steer help needed

[Z Squared]

Hey guys, im new here. Im also new to building prerunners. I've got an 02 ranger with a +4.5 kit up front. Im doing swing steering and have geometry questions. my main concern is the relationship between the centerlink, drag link, and pitman arm. im planning on running the drag link to the swinger. Im assuming the drag link snd centerlink should be parallel horizontally and vertically, but wanted to get more opinions. Also,im not sure if I'm calling things by the right name, so for reference, Im saying centerlink as the part between the tierods, and the drag link is between the pitman and swinger/centerlink.

Thanks for the help

Perfect world, you’re correct but packaging is usually the limiting factor.
Ram angle in relationship to the centerlink is more important than the drag link angle.

Ram angle being the angle of the ram assist?

Yes. The ram does the majority of the work in normal conditions.
