Cosmo- - - -one question- - - -how did you deal with the pivoting rear spring mounts on the torque tube rear axle housing? Some people weld them, but with the rubber pivot bushings integral with those mounts, I've heard horror stories about broken welds, etc. I believe the best possible approach would be to eliminate the pivoting mounts and substitute rigid ones in their place.
