Update:
Brackets are in for the 6 link
I've delayed myself again by deciding that I will use a obs axle
the Obs axle is 4" narrower and the same lug pattern as the Chevy front

fron drivers side
the bar going across will be turned into a crossmember with driveshaft hoop
one side will be adjustable the other will be solid

so this weekend was an epic fail
friday i went to the shop to strip the obs axle and get it to bare steel and found out both torches were empty
sat i was so discouraged that i drank heavily
today i returned to the shop with the torch from work and it last about 2 mins before also being out of BOTH GASES
so i cut the 2x2 link bars to length
while trying to notch the ends to fit around the bar ends i killed 3 2" hole saws and 1 1/2" Milwaukee hammer drill before getting one notched
