Re: opinions suggestions

my worry is if I go any narrower on the uppers I will definetly be pushing it as far as being a "traigulated" 4 link.. figuring by tieing together the uppers that would help in side to side movement???

Re: opinions suggestions

Putting the upper bars together would seemingly give you more angle but i'm not sure if you would need it....im not an expert but I think either way will work fine, as far as the upper tabs go, if they clear then they clear but damn they look close in the pic. We really need an experts opinion on this tho...twistedminis????

Re: opinions suggestions

if you want expert like i said go to streetsource.com and post the question in the ASK MAX forum. he is and EXPERET. he's the guys pros ask. and by connecting the upper bars into a wishbow limits the lateral movement of the link thus holding the axle. and the tabs are clost but 2 in is way over kill if the axle ever moves that much side to side you need to just redo everything.

Re: opinions suggestions

triangulated 4links need as close to 40* of angularity. I think your current setup would work just fine, i think the upper tabs are a little close but should work. You have as much angularity as your configuration will allow.

But the way nice fab work, that rear half looks similar to my old one.
