hi guys, ive just started stretching my swb gq, building it up as a winch truck. i have made longer lower control arms and moved the coil tophats back and its sitting great. but now i have come to the top arms and have a few options.

1. triangulate top arms to center of diff with new brackets all round
2. an 'A' frame using the original mounts on the chassie end running back to the top of the diff.
3. just make longer top arms and put the panhard bracket back on.

any guys in the know, some advice would be greatly appriated on which system suits the winch truck style events. thanks very much guys

Will put some picks up on monday when I get back to town. Decided to go with an A frame set up.
