With the housing I have isi bit farther to the left than the more sought after 78 and 79 front axles so you end up with clearance issues on your track bar mount on the frame. I'm not too concerned with that since I'm going with a triangulated 4 link won't be using a track bar

Hmm, very good to know as I am currently running the TF draglink flip that has a frame side drop mount for the track bar and frame brace. What 4 link kit are you running?

I'm building my own. Most of my brackets I ordered from Artec along with the truss and my joints are from rustys

Hrm, I will have quite a few questions about that. Mainly as to whether they will be straight or are you bending the arms and to what degree.

I'm still debating if I'm going to double triangulate or single but most likely I do double with straight arms top and bottom

That does sound like less of a headache.

Well, I get to go look at a 2005 ford d60 front this evening. If I can find a matching rear, it will definitely remove the sensor headaches.
