You mentioned outboarding the rear shocks. I looked at mine today, I think my rear tire moves a good 3 or 4 inches inward when the rear tire flexes upward. You may want to flex yours out first to see if their is enough clearance to get the mount and shock in there.
It's been long time ago but you used to be able to get BudBuilt rears with what he called a Vegas cut ( Matt from vegas had the pattern). I used that cut when I moved my axle back about 4 inches I believe. I destroyed my Lockrite locker and switch to a Detroit and it worked a lot better and handle way nicer.
Ive never used a torque wrench on them, I just crank em with a impact lolNice little trick I picked up.
Also, what do you guys torque your ring gear bolts to? 80ft/lbs and the threads pulled out on 1 bolt. Maybe just a fluke. The rest seemed ok to me

Sounds like u really want links. If u don't think it will burn you out project wise go for it. You could use bushing ends to save money if u need to and will probably still work fine. I would probably do bent lower links so u don't drag them as much on steps and such. Steel isn't as expensive right now so that's a good thing. I would put most emphasis on the right amount of anti squat for the steep climbs.Am I wasting my time with leafs springs?
