After some thought I decided to go with a 4 link. I also notched the frame so there's plenty of room for suspension travel. I welded a 12" long piece of 1.25x1.25" .120 wall square tube to the top inside of the frame then boxed it in.

I needed to set the ride hight so I can set up the 4 link. In the rear I used some square tube to space it out. For the front I made some solid struts. This dropped it about 3.5/5.5. It still has a little rake to it so I will drop the back one more inch to set up the 4 link.

For people that are interested in weight, I did weight the leafs, shackles and hardware. 63.8lbs per side.

Yea, my entire 4 link set weighed less than one side of the leafsprings/hardware.

Nice work. Lets see the 4 link
