he could be doing that shackle front and rear setup... that would require a 3 link... or maybe 1/4 ellipitic... 3 links aren't just for coils. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> a 3 link with solid mounted leaves might be a whole lot work for something a simple trac bar could handle. but maybe he wants to waste time. <IMG SRC="smilies/laughing.gif" border="0">

it is a stock tracker rear three link set up. that we cut and extended three ft. it uses the tracker ball joint on top of the pumpkin. and the lower arms are just stock ones cut in half and slid into 1 5/8 tubing and welded up. the upper link is made out of the old parts from the tracker. it is going to have 1/4 eliptic spring set up. more than likely out of a chevy pu springs. not sure yet, will keep you updated. later mike
