wtf are u talking about.

Your 4 link bars go from the front leaf spring mount to the top of the axle??? Thats what I'm getting out of this. Or do you have a 4 link?

i have a two link setup where my link bars mount to the stock front leaf spring mount to the top of the axle. i was asking if i should remount them on the bottom of the axle because im mounting my bags on top of the bars and and to the side of the frame. i thought it would bind up if they were on the top of the axle.

I just looked at your truck, and if its the truck your talking about your 2 link looks to be mounted on the bottom already. That is where they should be.

I dont think its the same truck. I was confused by that as well, but the bags are already on the bars on the truck in his profile.
I didnt know you were referring to a 2 link.
Personally I wouldnt run one. if you are keeping it though, move the mounts to the bottom of the axle.

This still isnt making sense to me. You say it has a 2 link, then why does it have axle tabs?
