Hey guys, thanks for all that input, Robnell had an option similar to that alloy set up.
I'm impressed with your "little picture" Mike, a nice simple solution to two potential concerns. Do you think there is measurable for/aft flex in the dog bone without a trailing arm? I would have thought the weak point would be the inner pivot bracket that bolts to the diff housing, though retaining a tough tie bar across lower pivots should help. I believe RMC also trialed these rears without a trailing arm.

Chris D.. Do you know what your current rear spring rate is? I've been trying to calculate my rates but as I mentioned I've got one adjustable and one slave(three position height adjustment only) each side and with both seats in the lowest posi the springs are compressed to different lenghts. With the 255/60 tyres its sitting very high in the back.
