What's that???
Last I heard you wouldn't drive it because of the brakes and something else. You didn't think I was going to let you get away with that did you? :xdevil: :rofl:

The brakes are good enough to drive right now, I just need to get dirty and weld some brackets and shit in place! I'm laggin big time!

it drives good tho! Just doesn't stop worth a shit! the mech across the street says I have a air bubble and need to bleed it some more!

I would take it out right now! But I'm really busy!

I need some insight on the rear mounting point there at the tranny crossmember. I was thinking of using Rod End style mounting points there instead of the through shaft style like the old design that Ford (and you) used. Is this something you considered? Any suggestions?

One other thing, I was thinking because of the amount of lift that I'll have at around 14" suspension lift that I'll have the shorter link on the bottom of the main link rather than on the top like yours is...any insight or suggestions on this?

Last of all, how did you mount the axle end mounting points to the axle? Was the axle that you used originally a leafsprung or radius arm?

Thanks for your time.

Not that you asked but I'll give you my picks..lol

Where it mounts to the frame, I used johnny joints, not the cheapest but they rotate more than hiems and are rebuildable. I used them at both ends. I mounted my links where the drive shaft spits out of the transfer case and now I have very little drive shaft movement, 1in from top to bottom to be exact!

remeber the higher you go the lower your rear mounts need to be. Just for reference my frame is 24in from the ground and my pivot mounting points are 2in below that. I'm guessing I have about 6in of lift total with my 1.5in body lift. There is some good info on the pirate board about geomtry of the suspension and how effects what and where.

Good luck, the end results are really worth it when your tires rarely leave the ground and you feel safe and comfortable the whole time your wheelin
