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.

but they run to short a travel, and tear the top ball joint mount off the diff when the ball joint runs out of travel.

So put in one of many after market ball joints with more travel and reinforce the mount???

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.

Isn't it the front of a maverick that needs more attention?

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.
