Building a Truck for "WE ROCK"

I figured the spring mount use to hold the weight of the vehicle it can easly handle diff pressure. plus it has alot of other advantages like allowing to angle the rear arms, and it's also tucked up far enough not to get caught on but slide.
Using Nissan GQ patrol bush's (they are used in the upper links in the rear of GQ's). give really good flex without wearing out like alot of other joints.

by the end of the weekend I am aiming to have the engine and box adaptor finished, both front and rear diffs in except for the front panhard as I haven't decided on the ride height exactly.
seem to be close to on track, I'm alittle bit behind on what I have set out for the next 2 weeks, but as long as everything is done except for the cage by the June long weekend I wil be sweet as I will do it then.

no...it's still got to have plate welded to it at an angle from the ouside part to the very end (you will see later)

Das,
Spherical rod ends (like you have on your rear A-frame) do not usually have a very high load rating in the axial direction.
I believe you would be better off to change the mount on the top of the diff so that the bolt is vertical. Then the side loading from the axle will act radially on the rod end.
