: 4-link lower bracket mount - critique

I decided to move my lower link mount bracket from the bottom side of the frame to the inside of the frame to gain a little more clearance. However in moving it in, I lose some of my suspension compression. I don't have the mounts tacked, but it looks like I might only have 5 inches of compression before the link tube hits the other link mount and frame. How much compression is normal for this type of setup? Should I put them underneath the frame rail and not worry about clearance? (Ignore the red strap, I had my rear end strapped down to keep it from moving while I am adjusting the mounts)

just me, but I think maybe you wont hit the upper mount with the lower arm on full compression. I could easily be wrong, i guess.

Well, these are just 1 inch links right now just for fit, I'll be using 2 1/4 lowers. I taped a spacer on it and raised the axle end, movement was about 5 1/2 - 6 inches before it hit.
