I have an A-body 12-bolt I originally built to install in my '70 Judge, but recently sold the car, so it is what I'd like to use. It looks like you used the built-in ears on the diff housing for the upper arm attachment? Triangulated 4-link with coil-overs appeals to me for the adjustability - especially ride height. Leaf springs appeal to me since it looks like it might be easier overall on the fabrication. Did you narrow the rear?
