rear suspension design help needed

[wedged]

Now we are getting somewhere ! Thanks everyone.

just to clarify a few things:

I will end up with at least 1" clearance from the tire to any body sheet metal, probably closer to 1.5". In the pictures it's at about 1". I'll build the rear axle to be about 1" total narrower than I want and then I can use thin spacers to dial in the final width.

For the mounting the upper links, I had already thought of the off road diff or making a tube bridge over the diff to weld mounts to. There may even be diff covers with mounts already on them, but I have not searched enough yet.

I will probably start with coil overs, but may eventually end up with bags all around. I'm just not sure if I want to add the tank, compressor, etc.

Am I correct thinking the uppers are 60 degrees compared to each other and not an upper compared to a lower ?


I just test drove a pro street '68 barracuda that I put a new set of gears and one new axle into. It's a ladder bar car with heim ends. I'm not putting up with the constant clunking and clanking and that's why I want to use urethane in the truck.

I also have a '68 satellite in the shop that has an Air Ride 4 bar in the rear. I had thought of taking measurements off of it, but I feel that set up is compromised from being ideal in order to be a bolt on kit. So why bother copying it ?
