    Glad I wasn't crazy, it is definitely a subtle curve to it.

    THIS guy has excellent links. These are what I'm going to use on mine. Heat treated chromoly steel. All you need to pick out are some rod ends and you're all set. Here's a direct link to his site. Heat treating greatly improves the strength of the links. Plus they are a lot more affordable.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    Jo, you need to learn to crawl!
    The skinny pedal is not always your friend.

    Why not pull one at a time and source some polyurethane spacers? You could be the first to develop a VX body lift kit or just a stock replacement kit with better components. I'm sure the puck system is fairly easy to source common parts for.

    It helps if your engine isnt spuddering too

    Billy....You need more lift and bigger tires to keep up with your crawlin skills and determination... or a retractable strap...
