Ok, I have issues and I need all of your cool ideas. I got the lower trailing arms secured to the frame. However, the crossmember that the upper trailing arms connect to, hits the front of the differential. I am thinking making the brackets come off the frame OR panhard bar...what you all think...

4 link it ... if not that you need to see how much room you have above that crossbar and notch it, id do that and put extra support from the side of the frame to that cross bar, forgot the name for that but it looks like half a triangle ... i wouldnt trust that cross bar alone with trailing arms welded to it

notch the crossmember maybe?

 

[Aeroman]

i thought about that but it might weaken the crossmember...

 

[joebomber52]

c notch it

or step notch it

or cut out the section where it hits
and get a round tude same diameter of the width of the current member

get the tube bent in a "U" and welt it in place

cool, let me find the new ones....

Cool cool, I think I will go with your idea to re-enforce the bottom more. As far as the top, what about upper brackets coming off the frame:

it would be cool but on then uppers there is alot of tension on then when the rear is lifted and lowered so you might want to do some kind of x member
