Thats pretty interesting. Never saw anything like that before. I wonder how the rear end is gonna rotate in a turn??? JR

Fatman is a little lean on information in their catalog

but I'm guessing a rubber bush or rod end of some type at the front of the leaf

I have one of these set ups we removed from a car. Complete set up with a 3.73 posi, has 100 miles on it. Also comes with shockwaves, CHEAP. $1500 for everything.

it almost looks like a quarter elliptic setup...but then it's got the coilovers too. Cheap alternative to proper links with pivots it would seem. That just looks like axle wrap waiting to happen.

I am currently getting installed a billet G bar 4 link from Chris Alston Chassisworks. I have learned that if you shop at "Walmart" that is the quality you get. Spend the extra money and do it right the first time. Trust me I have learned the hard way and wasted a lot of money. The kit I got was $2,700 for the billet, you can get the steel version for about $2100. The kit is almost all bolt on except for the tabs on the axle housing but the kit comes with a location bracket that bolts onto rear end to make it easy to weld..Do it right the first time....
