Sorry, haven't got any pics, but most people use the screw hole that attaches the axle brace to the stub axle for mounting the lower links, and for top links use the big tube in the center of the axle. Hope this helps.

You could but I think they would be too high in relation to the top links

THis is what i did with my clod axles, I put one long bolt on each side behind the hub there were already two holes because of were you put the screws in for the axle brace and i put longer ones there and put a spacer and then my link and another spacers and a nut i did that 4 times, for the 4 link two be complete, you must get or make some top link mounts that go in the whole on top of the axles. This might be confusing i wish i had some pictures. Pretty simple to do, although there is other ways! Some were someone sells a mount that you somehow mount to the axle and it has a way to mount it for the four link and shocks, i will look. EDIT: here they are http://www.thecrawlerstore.com/suspension.html The top link mount set of two and Gmade brace mount set, that will have your 4 link mounting point takin care of, adn shock mounting points Last edited by scalecrawler; 08-11-2006 at 10:32 AM. |

The NN mounts the bottom links as scalecrawler did his, with the longer bolt through the axle C and the axle brace. For the upper links there are a few places that make a mount that bolts through the tube on the front axle for the upper links. Here is TheCrawlerStore's. |

Whatever you do, don't buy your top link mounts! I made mine out of a sheet of aluminium, and they are perfectly centred. People sell them for $30+ and I made mine for free: rip off
