I think I can probably get the mounts closer together on the housing, but i figured 6" was a decent starting point. I don't have any clearance issues above the housing as I'm not too concearned about bed space.
Does it matter where the forward mount points of the upper links land in relation to the lowers in an overhead view ? I know they are typically inboard of the lowers, but could they be outboard ? The front frame from the dakota donor is about 38" to the outside. I could extend those rails back as far as I can in front of the rear tires, before squeezing it down to fit between them.
