Here are some more. i dont really want to use the clod shocks. this is just a mock up untill i get some 90mm shocks. i want this one to be kind of low. have to figer out how to make the back two axals to were they wont move but up and down. if i have to use links they well have to be short. im looking at diff trucks and trying to get an ideal as what to do. so far im stumped.  well anyways here are the photos.

How about this? Make a center bracket and use leafs turned upside down. The leafs will keep your axles from moving but give each the independent movement you are looking for.
