Lower link mounts were easy, getting the upper mounts for the rear meant a nice cross-member. This will serve three purposes:
1. Upper link mounts and they are adjustable for anti-squat.
2. It will tie the left and right frame rails together.
3. It will keep the rear driveshaft from hitting the ground and "pogoing" the back end at speed.
All the links in and adjusted:
Uppers are 1.5", .25" wall DOM, 3/4" heims at each end. Lowers are 2", .25 wall DOM, with 1.25" Johnny Joints at the front end, 1.25" heims at the back. All links are built with left and right threads on each, installed opposing directions (meaning the front lowers are left on one side and right the other).
It's hard to see in there, but the rear of the Atlas also has a brace to keep it mounted to the tubing.
