Other than the way the a frame meets the diff, I had the same idea.

The a arm bolting to the diff center is a pita
It flexes well but it would need a sway bar
The arms are short so u get heaps of rear steer when flexed

There is nO engineer to get involved. We do a submission to a commitee made up of car enthusiasts and they decide what the next steP is. If they like it then ya get the go ahead.

Welding on the chassIs is unavoidable however if I can use factory suspension bits then it will look a lot better on paper.

Don't stress on the welding part.

Under NT rules any chassis welding only needs to be done by someone with the relevant AS certification. There are enough of them around here to be easy enough to do.

Sounds wise to me, but I no engineer.

You could include part of the vit chassis, too, if that helped

I'd argue the flex's well part, if you are after some good flex the A arm ball joint to your diff will be your weak point.

But you could change it up with a massive hectic rose joint.

Shep's let me know how you are going, I just discovered a 100 Series cruiser down the tip and I'm gonna flip the chassis on Wednesday and take all the bits off it. Including the OME suspension and the front ARB Bull bar. Armsup

So went down to the dump, realised I don't have sockets big enough to take any of the control arms off out here with me. Anyway I walked around for a bit and found a pallet with front control arms just sitting on them so I took them instead.. so so much easier.. Armsup

I was thinkin, whilst totally over kill a single front control arm could work as a rear anti wrap bar on a Sierra with SPOA..?

You could but it will need a shackle on one end for the push pull movement, like a slip joint on your driveshafts

Yep, it's definitely been done. Don't skimp on the bracketry on the diff end. Traction bars exert a LOT of force on the axle housing.
