The 69 that we're doing the dropmember install on will also have one of our backhalves with the canti-levered shockwaves like this 55 we recently finished.
Yes I agree it is alot of work but that is most of the fun! As far as a bigger notch that seams it would only be if you went with a canti set up. I am thinking of doing a duel shock wave set up with the shocks off th eside of the frame. It looks like you could save about 5-8" by not going to a cnati set up like on the 55 (although that does look bad a$$). As far as the half-shafts I also agree and I would set it up so at my ride heigh ( low ) they would be parallel and then lay down from their. I am figuring if I can get about 4" of trave each way from ride height that should put me as low as I want to go and still be very useable with out having a large notch.
