Why re invent the wheel, just bolt one in from a 1970- current landrover ?

RRC 70-94, Disco 89-98, County/ Defender 82- current - all have A frame rear suspension with bolt in brackets.
Saddle up tonto, its the not so loanrangie! . 98 TDI DISCO lightly modded with more to come.

nissan bolt-in A frames get rid of the panhard and change the roll center height.

But there is no discernable increase in flex, for a lot of extra $'s.

Exactly, the balljoint mount would have to be custom made anyway and you can buy extenders that bolt in for extra reach.

You still going to pay more than just buying a bolt in a frame to suit a patrol.
