Nah... Sump'n bigger!

Limousine at the VERY least... I was looking to get just the links off of another vehicle and fab up brackets.

I got it!

Ford Fox body!

I just replaced the suspension on a 1988 T-Bird. (Mustang is the same car.) I can duplicate that for the lower link, just upsized. Extruded box steel or rectangular steel tubing with U-bolts should do the trick.

It had stamped steel that attached to a bracket on the body, then came down diagonally under the axle and bolted to a bracket on the rear of the axle... Between the axle and the point where it attached to the frame, it had a flat perch for a coil spring... Replace the coil spring with an air bag and I should be good.
