Re: 2wd swap
I would agree. He's doing well. Especially for being a young-gun.

Re: 2wd swap
Kids showed some initiative.
He wasn't feeling the 2 link plan. So triangulated 4 link it is. And was gifted this 9 inch housing. Got a 2.91 gear and a 31 spline locker for it.

Re: 2wd swap
Any reason not to do the upper links like this and the lower outside the rail?

Re: 2wd swap
So no more 4 link thoughts?
Anyways back to the front end. We raised the upper pivot 1" and cycled the suspension 7 inches has -4° of camber change and 3/8 toe at full bump from ride height.

Re: 2wd swap
Tentatively using the stock spring hanger as the lower link pivot.
And boxing the inside of the frame at the hanger for upper link off the diff housing.
