A part of me says it's cool that Mark is willing to share with you what he worked hard to design and then a part of me says it is kind of dumb for you to figure it out all over again.It isn't like a store off the shelf back haft say like you could buy in a kit form from Jegs.So why don't you ask Mark to build one for you and you pay him??.Also for you to conceive you hanging a four link off the rear sub frame isn't the way to go.You should truly "sub and tub" with some fashion of 2 x 4 frame rails or 2 x 3 frame rails that tie to the front sub frame.Of course that means a leaf spring delete and the use of coli-over shocks.

I was just confused.Vans got leaf springs and most use 9 inch fords with leaf springs.What he is doing is way cool and he doing a good job.My brother and I do that with race cars.Build frames and custom suspensions.my brother is putting a torque arm suspension from a camaro in a 68 charger.Killin the true mopar guys.No disrespect was intended I was just lost on it.And that exactly what I working on now.Modifying the 4 link on the chevelle. So I was like Umm okay when I read it.

I did edit my post to be clearer.His best solution is a coil over,but it is going to ride kind of like a pogo stick.I am all about 4 links if is being used as a traction devise.But if it is just for a "look" with all that money and work,that isn't my cup of tea.
