Re:

Should work fine, I'm considering doing the same. Or a 3 link/panhard

I'd definitely use a 1.25" heim for the top joint

Same setup on my buggy and works great.

Sent from a undisclosed thinkin spot...

Links figured out?

hjpcummins · Nov 4, 2014

Haven't updated in a while so here's some pics.
This was the ND result of the motor rebuild

Im not 100% on the exhaust decission. Ended up with sandersons headers 1 5/8 primaries and 2.25" exhaust. Since my chassis is tight with links and drive shaft being inches from each other I ended up with this design

wonder if I'd be choking it with one exit

Whoa...I haven't been in this thread for quite some time and I come back to find an LS motor and one tons....and you hanging from a tower a couple hundred feet off the ground.

Progress looks good, but do you have a shot from the side of the front suspension?

Re: Re: Ftoy #518 build

I didn't like the short front links but they came with the axles setup so I ran went with them to save a Lil $
Oh and this would be my first link suspension experience ... trial and error
