Gday all I’m about to start on the links for my mogs and while reading "Link suspensions for dummies" some one said when u start using portals its a whole different ball game.
Is there a simple rule that u add when using portals? Does any one have any good links, or experience that would help me out?
Thanks Shane

Maybe PM John (Bush65) - or do a search for his posts on the subject. He is an engineer, and was going to put portals under his project vehicle.

the only difference is the height of the axle tubes
so if you put the links to the center line of the mog axle tubes its like having them above the housing on a regular diff
