Just be sure you brace the arms properly due to the extra leverage. Im glad the hubs will do the job! It was a team effort. You provided me with great info and ideas as well. Some sacrifice form for function. For whatever reason I need to achieve both at higher than average standards.

Thanks again.

added a little bit today. I made bracket to put the rear mounts of my front A-arms in double shear.

looking at it now I should have put a curve into the side so it doesnt look so square.
oh well. I am my worst critic.

Unless you triangulate that box you have accomplished little. Looks good though. maybe something like this. IMHO

Now that won't deflect and end up cracking the upright tube. Well done.

 forgot one photo.

I was thinking about sinking the outside of my trailing arm with some thinner material. I was going to use a 2" dimple die to add some strength.  just want to get an idea on how thin.?

I'm  sure it will be fine but I'm also not a fan of the bolts through the frame(first pic). If it were me,next time, I would put a threaded boss in place to  avoid the furrule through the chassis tube(second pic).

i did the bolt through because I didnt know any better and that is what Rorty had in the plans.

I was going to box the outsides of my trailing arms. I'm not sure what thickness sheet would be do to use? and if I use a 2" dimple die can I go to something even thinner?

Hindsight is always 20/20 but you should be fine as is. I sure a shell would not change it now anyway. Just thought I'd mention it for the future/others.
 Post some pics/dimensions of your ta's/
