Alright guys, I thought about this a couple days ago. I don't know what would happen. Maybe a cherokee would explode into a million pieces with this setup, maybe not. But here it goes..

What would happen if the lowers were triangulated at the axle, and the uppers were triangulated at the frame? I was thinking about packaging when I came up with that idea. Basically reverse the typical triangulation normally found on 4-links. Thoughts? Could it work or would it be a horrible idea?

Go mid arm and mount them in your oil pan. :flipoff2:

I thought about it, but I already experimented with clearance holes in the oil pan, and that made the motor stop running. :(

You gotta plumb your oil through your uppers, that's the ticket!! Plus with this set up your heim joints won't squeak EVER!
