Any pics of a bag over axle setup with a triangulated 4 link?? Most of the boa's seem to be running parallel 4 links with panhards. Trying to avoid a panhard or watts link. Thanks for any info guys.

Dude, that's awesome. My main issue was visualizing what I was throwing around in my head. I was getting wrapped around "the upper link on the diff is gonna hit the bridge bar" issue, but the more I thought of it the more I realized I wasn't thinking clearly, lol. Pretty much your pics confirmed what I was thinking, that it will clear but just be a little tight. My buddy wants a bag over axle but wants to stay away from the panhard and I was steering him towards a triangulated set of uppers, but then started having brain farts. Thanks again man. Nice work by the way.

here is a picture from last week of that olds, if you look you can see the tabs where the link bars go, but they arent on in this picture. When I go back to work this Monday I'll get some pics of the links attached.

Right on. Yea some shots of the links attached would be cool. So you runnin' the single link for the uppers on the diff for the olds or a similar setup to that taco?

if you look closely you can see the tabs for all four links tacked to the axle. It will be a lot easier to get the whole idea with the links all attached, as right now it looks like they would go through the inside of the car hahaha. This one will probably be more useful to you as the links are designed to work without cutting up the floor or anything, kind of like the low profile look you were talking about. Here is a pic of the links, the guy belongs to the Sinners C.C. so we decided to keep with the theme and I made the lower links look kind of like an evil devil pitch fork when they are on the car, and a lot more sharp angles than I tend to use.

I know most of the time doing BOA gets in the way of where you want to mount your link bars and people avoid it. If it helps any i offer a mount that locates the bag ontop of the bar mount.
