What is everyone doing with the rear crossmember when you link the rear and push the axle back a few inches? Pics appreciated.

Good question. I don’t remember hearing much about that aspect of the link suspension conversions.
I seem to remember some making smaller gas tanks, but don’t remember crossmember mods. I think I know one buddy who turned his into a buggy, completely removed all cross members and relocated them as needed. But don’t think I ever posted pictures.

How far back are you intending to push the axle?

Well, for starters, I have a 14 bolt axle and it takes up a fair bit more space than the 9”. It’s pushed back 1” now, and the upper link brackets are going to hit the crossmember. I’d like to push it back a few more inches.
