Just for the record...

On Lisa's Rodeo, 'The Turtle', Doug fabricated a lowered mount for the track bar - thus putting it back to being parallel with the axle, just as it was originally.

Trust me; this set-up has been thoroughly field tested, and has proven itself to be sound under even the most extreme forces (such as those capable of snapping a D-44 axle shaft, for instance <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> )


I'm NOT saying that a lengthened track bar isn't a valid solution - I'm just pointing out that using a lowered mount is more than just theoretical engineering... it's well-proven technology (and an added bonus is that, at-rest, the axle sits exactly where itÆs supposed to û squarely centered).
