Heres two of the rear with the springs off at full compression. I clear all goods just fine.:cheer:

The links are level at ride height and pointed uphill at full stuff. Not really any rear steer probs either.:awesomework:

Ill have some shots of it done later today.:beer:

Looks good Brad---I like where this is headin'!!!! :awesomework:

Thanks Kev.:awesomework: I hope the new pics explain the rear attachment/frame point a little better.

You have to have more work done than that Brad....
:flipoff: Im busy workin while you hooligans wheel.:haha: Wish I could have gone.:booo:

i havent seen one like that yet looks good man:awesomework:
Thanks man, Im glad you like it. I do too:redneck:
 
Broken record time. Why did you put the lowers under the frame again?

I wanted to keep the link angles as close to level as possible. By mounting the lower links on the bottom of the frame it was just about right.:awesomework:

The lower link mounts are smaller and lower profile than my old leaf spring hangers and I never had a problem with those hanging up. I mean the tranny tcase arent alot lower than those mounts.:kissmyass:

I can deal with a belly snag about 2 percent of the time as compared to bad geometry 100 percent of the time. :awesomework:

Plus I figured it was best to put them somewhere thats 90 percent kosher, than stare at it for years searching for everything thats "perfect".:rolleyes:

This was the quickest, easiest, and simplest I could come up with. Plus its mine, so its not like Im gonna have anybody bitchin at me about it.:haha:

I have that red toyota to do on links aswell. Ill find what I like/dont like and do his a step better.:awesomework:
