Short: doing 3 link on a Dana 60 and need a "mini" truss because upper link is on top of the diff(4.5" above bracket shown in picture). I've got a start and need opinions on reinforcement for 1/4" plate start:
Long:
FJ55 getting a 60" WMS Dana 60 front and a three link. Mild built big block cady(472, maybe 300hp and 400ft-lbs) with SM465. Gearing is going to be 3.54 for now. It might end up with 5.86 if I get stuck with that gear set
Rig isn't going to be "hard core" use but 35" tires with ~2-3" lift. Might see some technical wheeling on Rubicon(~30 miles down the road). Primary abuse will be snow plow. Rig is going to loose a LOT of body weight(2/3 of roof gone, 16" out of the rear cargo area, no rear door)
Because I'm not going to do anything super abusive, I don't feel I need a full length truss. The material is 1/4" and 4" wide. How would you flesh out the truss?
