I put the lower bars so far in for one to be right underneath the bag and also thats where the tabs fit properly on the front crossmember. I wanted to make the upper bars parallel but the airbag is in the way. Thats why the uppers are outside the notch. Its not the most aesthetic thing to look at but it works. The upper bars actually center the rear end nicely.

The only alternative I see is to 2 link it. That could be a problem with a huge drive shaft though. Plus I know most people hate on them on here. I'll prob get flamed just for saying it haha.

SHould be building the watts link soon.

Your link setup is basically a parrallel 4 link, your still gonna need a watts link or a pan hard or you will have issues driving it!

I'm going to put a watts on it just in case he decides to tow. I would compare it more to a wish bone than a parallel. Its quite a ways from a parallel 4 link. I would guess the axle mounts are at least 12-14" apart from each other plus the front of the mount is a good 3-6" spaced.

I'm just giving my 2 cents, but there seems to be a whole lot going on in that small of a space. I dont see how your gonna get a rear floor in that thing. My frame is way simpler, and I still have a huge tranny tunnel. Just looks over thought? Like I said just my 2 cents. No disrespect.
