What would you do? I am thinking I probably want to go big... If I get serious about hooking it up with slicks that would be a good idea right?

i never lost a 1310 hd joint but i run all 1350 U joints now on the street . a custom shaft will have to be built. i get you the 1350 yoke ?

I have been burning the late evening oil working on the 4 link design. I ran the geometry points thru a 4 link calculator so I know the suspension is good. It will work and has adjustability.

I have ordered the tubing and Johnny Joints and will get the plate for the brackets ordered after I have the details complete tonight. The hardest part of the whole design was getting a panhard bar in the right location that worked and looked decent.

Right now I have the frame hardpoints for the panhard on the passenger side. in your guys experience is there a difference between one side or the other? I know it effects off corner bite but is there any rule of thumb for a street suspension?

I have a few more tweaks to make for brackets and such but the design is 90% right now.
Thanks for looking.
