ummm k sky we're gonna need to do some reading. please read post #2.
How wide are the Dana's? 62"?
i believe so. the spring perches are 42" or close therto
What will the rest of the drivetrain consist of?
probably zuk for now. sidekick 1.6 16v FI in the future plans oh and an automatic tranny from said sidekick. deep gears in the diffs and a pretty deep t-case 4,5 or 6:1 are availible for the stock t-case.
Why a pin and not a bolt?
cuz it looks kind cool but not entirely trail practical so it might get bolted.
Why not build the lower mount on the front of the Axle Tube, rather on the bottom, where rocks can catch it?
because we wanted to be different and lazy and incorporate it all into one setup.
What coils are you using?
coils are going to be ford aerostar rear coils or XJ stock fronts. i am leaning towards aerostars because of their soft springrate.
Whats the plan for the front suspension?
might go leafs if i get sick of building it and wanna wheel it. but that means outboarding the spring perches and a lot or work so coils up front also might be a lot easier.
like i said this is my first go at building a link suspension on a literal shoestring budget. we will put it all together and run it and look for weak spots. i still have to rip it all apart and do a second pass on all the welds and paint the whole thing. it will be an interesting journey that is for sure.
