You are going to want to beef up your upper link mounts on the axle end. Add some gussets or box them in. The uppers take 100% of the rotational stress of the axle.

cory saw a few guys running them when he went down there.the guys with the rail buggy's have been running them for years i guess.1/2 bolts with big nuts on them i believe is what cory said they were.they go all the way through the tire.
