The suspension is not exotic, but it works.

 

 

It utilizes:

    3.5" Wildhorse progressive rate front coils

    3" 11-leaf National springs rear

    Duff front shock hoops, cut and raised, 9012 RS9000 shocks.

    Fab'd in-board rear shock mounts, 9010 RS9000 shocks.

    Fab'd trackbar, raised mount on axle w/heim, cut down trackbar mount on frame.

    Fab'd wristed radius arm, located shock mounts lower and transverse.

    Fab'd rear axle traction arm.

    Fab'd heavy DOM steering linkage w/1-ton tie rod ends. (couldn't dump 77' inverted Y fast enough)

 

More pics and verbiage to come.

I ordered 1.375"OD .375"wall, .625"ID DOM tube, drilled and tapped it for 7/8" 20-thread right hand.  Used 3 ES2026R tie rods, 1 on each end of the steering link, 1 on the axle end of the draglink, and then used a ES2234R high-misalignment tie-rod on the pitman arm end of the draglink.  I reamed the knuckles for knuckle-over.  I cut down the trackbar stock bracket on the frame to raise that end of the trackbar out of the way, and cut and raised the axle bracket for the trackbar and added a 3/4 heim joint.
