    Well thanks to you guys for helping me with my suspension, I worked my butt off today to get it done. I used the calculators from this site to figure out my angles and lengths for my control arms:

    I'm hoping for zero squat but we'll see if it works. I plan on buying tires about an inch and a half larger so I accounted for this. I thought that figuring out the angles of the brackets around the pumpkin are outside my ability and patience so I stole an idea from the 4x4's to build a truss around it to give me a square surface. I still have a bit of grinding to do and I'm not sure if I should put caps on the lower front of the control arm brackets yet. I probably will. Didn't seem to bind when I jacked it up, the uppers are 12" and the lowers are 22", let me know what you guys think.
    That fourth picture of the axle bracket looks sloppy cause the weld comes around a joint, I plan to grind it smooth.
