Make sure you retain enough roll stiffness in the rear. 3 links have no roll stiffness inherently and that will turn that 253 into a huge pendulum once the front goes light. That's why my rear end is radius arm at the moment - doesn't have hektic flex, but it doesn't axlewrap or hop and makes the front springs work due to the roll stiffness.

Steve.

I'd go triangulated 4 link for the rear. Forget the panhard.

I have ome 40mm lux fronts in mine. I used these, because i wanted to keep the chassis extension as small as possible, and push the diff way forward. the frame was cut right behind the radiator mounts and extended about 250mm past stock.
