115844Guys, I've been searching around and with it being Saturday, calling tech support is not an option. I have the ridetech 4 link and am at the point where I need to weld all the mounts to the axle. The top arm mounts are not an issue, but I don't have any measurements for the lower weld on mounts. I have a new 9" housing from strange and need some measurements for the lower weld on mounts. These are the mounts I have

Bolt the lower links in up front (snug but loose enough so you can move by hand), and bolt to the weld on brackets. take a bunch of measurements to get your axle centered left to right and front to back. Tack the brackets on to the axle and remeasure everything including pinion angle at ride height.

Thanks Dale. Got it all mocked up.

I'm about to do the same install. Did you find you needed to grind the small flat spot at the top of the cradle to make the bracket sit flush around the axle tube? Mocking it up the bracket sits about 1/8" away from the tube because of that flat area.

Yes, but mostly because I have the backbone on the strange housing
