this going to school a couple nights a week working full time and trying to build a car,um or two at the same time is getting old but i feel that I am making progress just slow progress.started on the rear parts and pieces and I just am on the fence about going to a 3 link and a watts link or moving up the stock mounts on the upper bars and maintaining the fabricated mounts on the rear??
any learned info on these changes would really be helpful.

Eric, I'm using my stock location uppers and lowers out back, although they are adjustable. I'd have loved to go with the watts setup, but refused to allow scope creep to invade the project. I made a gameplan, and stuck to the plan. Although I'm likely going to add a panhard bar later due to tire clearance, as I can't have my rear end moving around. Wish I could help you more.
Oh, is that a receiver hitch?

Eric,
So what is the reasoning to replace the rear section? Why not just box it?
