Default Morrison 1st Gen Rear Suspension

OK- so we are just about done with the tri 4-bar and I can't keep the secret any more - Fully welded rear subframe to replace the stock unibody rails that fits under the stock floor and you can keep your stock fuel tank!

Wow looks nice.

How much welding and fabrication are needed?
Can you mini-tub your new suspension w/o cutting frame rails??

No, this is a replacement for the sheetmetal unibody rails.

Great looking piece, Craig. I like how you mounted the sway bar.

Is there much room for mufflers/tailpipes?

Well, you can thank the boardmembers for that one. We posted the first draft sub pics and received a lot of comments about muffler placement, so changes were made.
