Bein that I wanted this thing to be as low as possible with 37" tires, fnder trimming would happen and i also move the front axle forward from stock locale 5" to gain clearence at the rear of the front fender, also since I was coil/linking it I didn't lose approach angle by having the front of the leaf springs stickin out the front lookin all road warriorish. and when the suspension would collapse it would travel forward slightly to creat more clearence at the fender. My trusty tape measure came out again and link mounts were fabbed to the chassis, the lower links were re-used from the Willys and a new adjustable upper link was fabbed out of 1½" .250 wall DOM and a 1" grade 8 bolt and nut hot glued to a couple of RE joints.

finished links;

I mounted the lower link frame mounts under the frame to gain better street manners, even though it sacrificed offroad ground clearence. I figured they didn't hang down any more than leaf shackles and I tried to make them smooth so they would slide off rocks a little easier???
