I don't need no stinking Numbers!

Finally getting to my 3 link! After hours of research and thumb twirling I finally decided to ignore the most significant foundation of from the creation of man and the universe, NUMBERS! That's right mathematics! I am going with my gut feeling and numerous hours just laying under the ole girl and imagining link locations, lengths, mounts ect... ect...!
I broke all the old suspension down! Tossed what was bad (Radius Arms)! I cut off and saved the radius horns for the Bronco guys and starting with a semi clean slate! These are the arms that shaped on me after 24 years of wheeling, no complaints here just time to move on!

Prior to Radius Rampage at the Bull!
I am trying to squeeze the 18 under my hood! http://s1247.photobucket.com/user/BossCherokee/media/IMG_20160302_174226.jpg.html?sort=6&o=65
Got the ride height, up travel clearance and droop figured out! It is going to be right at the hood brace! I made need to notch them and I will not be able to remove the cowl spacers should I ever want to!

Hopefully I will only go bigger tire wise so I should be good!

A pic of the other axle side, but I still need to cut out the coil perch!

Before the comments start rolling in on the P.H. mount, that was the previous gusset to support the radius arm set up! I left it for a reference point on where it was and where I may want to remount it since it was a perfect alignment to the drag link!

I tried dragging pics on but I forgot how I use to do it since I post little or no pics!

use the img link provided in photobucket....not the url link
 
I don't like hoop mounts for shocks because at this point its not a tube chassis, so I am going with shock towers. I believe this provides more mount contact to the frame surface at the base and more thorough support without cross bracing. At this point I do not think I will need a cross brace from tower to tower,but if I need a cross brace I will add it! Here is the shock tower minus the center spacer bracket for the misalignment spacers of the shocks!
