Re: First post, and yep its about suspension

that is what I meant about getting the drawings from somewhere so you can check your work as you go plus, if you change something like that, you get the shaft centers at the right dimension from each other. there is an anti-dive angle built in, so the upper shaft slopes down at the rear 4 deg or so I think, plus the upper control arm could also slope slightly downhill towards the frame, so as the tire/wheel goes up it also tilts in and misses the fender lip. this is all assuming you start with the lower control arm level with the ground, side to side.

if you are a good fabricator and not afraid to fab from scratch, plus have a good grasp on suspension geometry, there is a home diy kit sold at welders series in Ontario Canada, good rate on the dollar as well. they also sell a whack of other fab parts and brackets for hot rods, like 4 link kits, panhard bars, gussets, bushings etc etc.
