The last picture in the series shows the traction bar mocked up in place. I still have to build the frame mount at the front and will have the bar angling up a little higher than shown. Note the spherical rod end at the axle mount to allow for pinion angle adjustment. I used a rubber bushing on the lower axle mount and at the shackle end (handmade shackle) to isolate NVH.

What about squatting issues w/ these designs? It also looks like ground clearence is an issue.

not sure about the geometry, but the front end still picks up when you stab the gas.

I could of built mine with more clearance but after sitting on the con for 6 hours waiting for a welder to come by and glue my DS back together, I kind of wanted to hit the Tbar first. as it sits they are pretty much level. It is also doesn't hang down nearlly as much as the stock shock mounts.
