Nice job! Looks very neat and tidy.

Did you move your upper spring platforms or just leave them in the original position? I also like what you did with the crossmember to allow room for the upper trailing arms. How did you go with getting that bit engineered? Any hassles?

Is there any chance to get any info regarding measurements etc? Do you still have the info from Carlton or should I PM him? He's already helped me out by sending me some pics of his front end which was awesome. It's convinced me to get rid of my snake arms and build the five link I was originally planning on. (suspension rebuild # 4, not to mention the number of steering configurations I've been through to get it right)

Did this GQ drive like it looked like it should have. How stable was it with the 6" lift in it with the five link front and four link rear? Curious to know as that's pretty much the set up I'm going to go with but with the rear axle back a couple more inches. (Once I drop the body lift back out, still can't decide to go back to 5 or 6" coils)
What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know and I don't care.

All upper spring locations were stock as I only moved the rear back 30mm.... obviously the lowers were all moved (rotated) .most of the measurements I had were only from visual pics of where things were located in relation to chassis marks(seams ) ..I will have alook for the mount info I think I even still have templates of the plates to fab the upper and lower link chassis mounts.....

Still maybe Pm Carlton he's a wealth of knowledge :idea: ...

My Mav still had the 3 link front ....... :roll: didnt really notice any change with the rear ...the rig was (still is fully engineered ) no dramas with the crossmember....but may depend on the engineer...

from memory Wendle was happy with onroad drivability heck he even got through swerve tests with the ACT rta

Ive spoken to the owner of my old rig and he's gettin ready to do the same as what you are organising ....but he;s only gotta worry about panel wrk / coil mounts / and lengthening the links

When you do go about try n get the arch back into comparison as the same as what cheezy and others do as it will look far more shweet .... alot of wrk I guess but definatley worth it with the end results others r acheiving :!:
