Thanx. My understanding of a ladder bar is that there are 2 mount points per side though, one above and one below the axle. I believe the 2 points allow adjustment of pinion angle, but I'm not sure it would change the forces applied to the axle housing. Well, except that each point would primarily see forces in 1 direction, where in this case, the mount point will see forces in both accel and decel?

Interesting idea, and I'm surprised we haven't see it before (unless I just missed it) given that it would appear to greatly simplify the installation. What are the limitations of this setup then?
