Watt's link with five vertical mounting position (This allows it to be adjusted for different ride heights and roll centers.)
Integrated driveshaft loop
Torque arm tucked up close to the driveshaft for maximum ground clearance. (It moves up and down simultaneously with the driveshaft, so there are no clearance issues.)

Torque arm front mount has a greasable Delrin bushing that is fluted to hold the grease in the bushing
Delrin bushing slides on a telescoping shaft, which is allowed to pivot on a greasable, low-deflection polyurethane bushing
Torque-arm front mount can slide, rotate, and pivot freely for bind-free operation
Lower control arms have four mounting locations to provide adjustability to the instant center location for a variety of horsepower levels
Lower control arms mount to the rear axle housing with QA1 rod ends to allow full articulation and bind-free operation
Lower control arms mount to the body with greasable, low-deflection polyurethane bushings to minimize noise, vibration, and harmonics
Made in the USA
Spring rate is 220 pounds
