Thanks, Jim, that did the trick! It would be cool to do that for racing (to stop axle hop) but for the street I like the independent suspension better (just my .02).

Interesting, to say the least! I think John Greenwood did some stuff like this back in the early '70s.
Sure looks like it's gonna be a pita to adjust at the track, tho, with the links so far up under the body.
Wonder if it is finished, and working well?

WOW! Major transformation, but I guess that's what it takes to get the big power to the ground without breakin stuff.
