I would like to know if you have any provisions for a Dana 60 rear with the three link. I have a Strange S60 and have started gathering the tubing and bushing ends to do a 4-bar set up, however, I would consider the three link so I don't have the clutter, exhaust routing, etc. Would it be possible to fab a bracket for the center link that bolts to where the pinion snubber goes?

We standardized on the 8-3/4" rear for a couple of reasons. Primary was the Dana 60 is much heavier and that doesn't help with handling, and handling was our primary objective. Other reasons were the drop out center section (like on a 9" Ford) to allow easy gear swaps and the availability of a gear drive diff was nice as well.

What you are suggesting with a bracket may work, but it's all a function of packaging and I don't know how the Dana compares size wise over the top of the housing. In all likelihood there is a probably way to make it work.
