Anyone used a 9 inch under a 67-72 with coil spring setup lately, if so do you have any tips for avoiding pitfalls on this install ? The welding is not an issue just 300 miles from my truck and was wanting to give this some thought BEFORE I break out the sawzall and torch lol !! Thanks in advance Mike

I have only seen them with 4 links, but I think it would be easy to do. Just have to weld on the brackets. If you used a ECE kit, you wouldn't have to worry about the track bar mount or shock mounts. They would just go between the mount pads and the track bars.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUN A 4 LINC SETUP. BSR PRODUCTS (1-800-572-6837 OR BSRPROD@IX.NETCOM.COM) HAVE MOUNTS OR PERCHES THAT WILL BOLT RIGHT UP TO THE STOCK TRAILING ARMS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GET THE CORRECT PINION ANGLE & WELD THEN IN POSITION. FOR A PAHARD BAR MOUNT, I USED ONE OFF OF A EARLY 60s CHEVY 1/2 TON TRUCK. IT WELDS RIGHT TO THE AXEL SHAFT, & IS HIGH ENOUGH THAT IT CLEARS THE PUMKIN. I HAVEN'T INSTALLED IT YET. NEED PIC.s??
