Re: 1958 Apache Big Window Loooooong Bed "Lucky"
More photos where you can see how lowering the center point and mounting below instead of above the link attachment point really added a good amount of clearance.
Clearly, Don has seen this issue numerous times over the years! The kit also keeps a nice geometry that allows these rods to stay roughly parallel with half shafts, which I understand to be necessary for this suspension to function well.
I think I could still find a DIY solution, but it wouldn't look this sexy.
Also check out how perfect the Mustang tank is for providing access to the centerpoint! It looks like I planned it that way all along.
