Mike,

On your build-up there are many very neat looking fabrications. "Bling, bling, bling." The fabricated parts that rise from the front axle supporting the forward end of the upper link are great examples.

In my humble opinion, I don't think looping the web over the tubing does justice to the rest of your rig.

Could you turn the webbing so the flat portion is perpendicular to the direction the tubing runs. Mount two brackets to the tubing behind the tow clevis points and forward of where you show it looped now for the upper mount and have the lower mount almost at the axle itself very near the lower portion of the fabrication points supporting the upperlinks. Make a mount that compliments the other fabrication nearby. The webbing would be almost straight up and down. I am assuming the webbing ends are similar to the flat plates at the mounting ends of seatbelts. This would allow the webbing to swivel a small amount also if needed. (Clear as mud, right.)

I don't know if this poses a problem with webbing getting caught in other parts though.

Nice looking rig. I have enjoyed watching the progress.

John
