Lots of plating of the uni-rail and weaker areas. That's the pretty easy part of the equation in the scheme of things.

Bill and I did a bunch of plating.
A cage helps tie it all together too.

Sorry for all the newbish questions but this is my first axle swap. :gee:
Heres another one.
Could I replace the upper control arm mounts on the axles side with heim joints on the mounts instead of the rubber bushings to attach to the radius arms?
(I know I was told not to use them but I need to do this quick and on a budget so I will run them shortly, Prolly till next rear.)

Alright everyone.
I have started tearing into this thing slightly and have decided not to be a dumbass and I am ditching the radius arms.
I have been looking at all kinds of 3-link builds here and on other forums and on other forums. The one that seem most similar to what I plan on doing is robs.
I will be mounting my lowers to the crossmember under the frame.
Any ideas on the length and mounting location of the upper on pass side?
Thanks again guys.

Keep them up as high as possible.
Cut the floor, length is determined by what works. IIRC, mine is about 36-37" long, joint center to joint center.
Another setup (MoparManiac's):

Thanks for the pics.
That helps give me better idea of how to do it.
Mine will not be triangulated on the bottom.
It will be more like robs setup.

Do you have any more info and pics on your upper link/mount setup.
Sorry to !!!1 but I want this thing done right the first time.
