If you mount to the outside of the bracket, you should place a 1/4" spacer inside the bracket and run a screw the entire length for more strength.

Nope just now I saw it. When I replied, I didn't realize there was a second page  Anyway, pretty impressive. Might wanna reduce the articulation some for more stability. The fact you could climb that mini wall says alot though. I'm working on a stubby TLT at the moment using a wheelbase similar to yours. But other than that, its completely different than any other TLT here |

AHHH i moved da links around and its sooo much better!!!! All the links pivot on the same line...  Got the rear drive shaft u joint lined up strait with the rest of the shaft... YES more of a constant spinning and torque to the rear end...also it got the drive shaft out of the way of the ground...  3 1/4 in of gc...  Notice the different drive shaft angles...

I absolutly LOVE this setup... i dont get the chassis tweak n e more do to how the rear axle rotates the opposite way that torque wants it to go... also the movement of the axles during articulation is a lot better.
