Yeah all 4 mounting points on the axle are super pivots.

Got the 4-link mounts buttoned up. I'm really happy with the way they turned out.

Its basically a piece of tube cut at an angle. Then you weld a plate on the straight side with a hole in the center. I usually use a holesaw to cut the plate to ensure the hole is centered. Just use the next size up holesaw and it fits pretty well.

I used 1/4" on those. I cut it out on the drill press with a 2" holesaw. On lighter duty stuff I use 1/8" plate, like shock mounts and stuff.

Right now I'm using a pipe bender to do small bends (up to 35 degrees) on heavy wall tubing. But its very limited. Ther larger radius bend I had done at an exhast shop.

I'm in the middle of building a full hydraulic bender in my machine shop right now.
