picked up a 89 2dr pathy AKA "path-grinder"im cuttiung off the stock suspension, and rebuilding it, it got tubular uppers already, question is what would be the best way to build my LCA mounts? i was thinking of just getting the stock hardbody lower suspension cross member and welding it in. but i figure im going this far why use stock stuff.i was thinking using some sperical rodends in a double shear config. i know you can adjust caster via the upper. so i could just use rubber bushings and make it(lca) non ajustable. anyone else done something like this?

made some progress today got all the 4x4 ripped out. i ended up using a 2wd hardbody lower suspension crossmember, just for ease and quickness of installation. I'm going to triangulate the LCA. need to get a 2wd pan the 4x4 pan hangs down below the 2wd crossmember like 2 inches.oh also found a brake upgrade for the 2wd guys 4x4 calipers are two piston and bolt right on the 2wd spindles just trim the backing plate a little.

got some more work done today and picked up a 2wd pan to swap on. and ordered my front bag brackets. all that's left is triangulate and bag and gusset the crossmember.
top shot of the suspension all in
had to toss in some shocks so the dam thing would roll....

--------------------------------------------- Not sure if I will be going to lowdown I will be hitting up dropzone, mazdafest and any of the other shows in Oregon. How much for a hood chrome grill bumper?
