Skid plate that connects the 2 link mounts , makes them stronger . I put tapered grade 10 socket head bolts on the bottom , used a taper bit to recess them . That's 3/16 wall 1.5x1.5 square tubing with a piece of 1/8th plate I stole off the blue bomber .

I realized I hadn't put a good pic of the track bar and location , I struggled over that thing . It was Robert Young who stopped by and proclaimed , "you may be putting that thing behind", he was right there was no room , I put a small bend in the track bar to accommodate the 3rd link . The track bar having a bend in it could come loose (dislodge the jam nuts on the hiems). So I found the right sized poly urethane bushing at poly performance so I could weld the track bar to it. I used a hiem at the other end . Once I articulated it up in all directions for clearance I could move on.

I finally got a couple tires mounted and decided to put the shock hoops on , it's a hassle to worry about body clearance . I had to weld on a mock up piece of metal ,,, after I measured the Bronco tub across. It's going to be tight
