[QUOTE="Tankota, post: 869026, member: 16157"] Bar doesn't have to be parallel with your driveshaft. No matter how it is mounted it WILL bind up some of the suspension travel but very little of the articulation. Bout the best you can do without going to link suspension of some kind. In fact, parallel with the leaf spring may be better...somewhat impossible cause your leaf spring flexes. My upper mount....I welded a home made spring perch to the back side of the crossmember. Then bolted my stock cruiser front shackle hanger and shackle to the perch. The perch has open ends so I can get to the bolt (the perch is actually rectangle tubing with a notch for the tube crossmember). If you are reversing your shackles and gonna toss your stock mounts/shackles then here is a use for one of them. At the axle you can use something with bushings (I used toyota pickup anti-dive bar ends) or heims. I'd recommend 3/4 inch heims or really good quality 5/8. Once you get the 5/8 heim though you'll see what I mean with it not looking beefy enough. [/QUOTE]
