Im trying to save a buck if i can as i have to ship these heavy parts downunder which will cost close to a grand for shipping id expect.

Because the Ridetech setup uses full-width bushings that appear to put the link centered in the leaf spring pocket, but the Glink setup has a separate insert that fits into the link's forward bearing, so for a mini-tubbed setup, you can buy offset bearing inserts to move the bearing (and thus link) inboard. Nice setup..
