    Id cut off the whole front end and start over with real suspension components. None of those home made radius rods, tie rods and drag link. Weld in a round tubing in front and go with a suicide type axle. Fab up some brackets for the axle you have for a transverse spring with wishbone or haipin radius rods. You could either go with a spring over or spring behind set up. You also need to fab up some shock brackets.

    I just don't understand why some guys try to reengineer everthing on a front end. The basic are tried and true and safe.
