Thought I'd give everyone an update on the direction I took for the rear suspension. I spoke with Bill Reilly at RMS and went ahead and stepped up to his Street-Lynx triangulated four link system. I figured I have poured so much $ in this project thus far - why cheap out on the rear suspension?
Bill's kit was extremely easy to install, excellent fit and engineering, and very beefy. His customer service and willingness to answer questions is outstanding. Now I have the luxury of additional adjustability in the rear
As it sits now in the pics, I can lower it another 2" and still have 4" of suspension travel. I do need to modify the floor a bit to clear the Moser 60 pinion snubber, if I want to drop it that much (2" plus 4" max squat). Should be no problem. I'll also need to notch the rear frame rails a bit for clearance when I install the rebound bumpers. By a stroke of luck - or perhaps clever forethought, I had already boxed in my frame rails when I replaced the floors.
