None of that stuff really matters as that style of bar does nothing as far as setting a new instant center. This is because most are using heims/rod ends on rear of the bar. I'm not going to get into suspension geometry and stuff like that, but the main thing you should now is that if your having traction issues because of wheel hop they will cure the wheel hop and possibly increase traction. However, if you have traction issues without the wheel hop you will still have traction issues without the wheel hop.

So if thats what your trying to cure, just pick a good arbitrary spot somewhere on the frame and build'em to fit.
