John, I went through a similar process. Originally, I wanted to use as much existing utility on the car as possible. That meant making pivot post brackets bolting to top shock mounts. That didn?t pass muster with an aircraft structure engineer friend of mine so on to the next iteration. I must have gone through several designs in my head, hoping for that ?lightbulb moment?. Most ideas I was coming up with were 15W at best. Tom Burkland eventually bailed me out with the idea of simply welding directly into the top chassis crossmember, two pivot posts much like you would with threaded weld-in bungs. Perfect solution with an even lower profile. Only perceived downside is the rocker pivot is operating in tension rather than the more desirable compression. I think this acceptable because specs for these rod ends say they are safe to 17,000 psi. So, as it stands, other than having a beam front axle, everything has changed from the original front end.
