    I'm trying to set up the rearend of my 28, I have a ford 9in rearend and
    not really sure how I should set it up. I want to use coil overs, and not sure if I should use a four bar set up or big trailing arms on bottom and buzz some tabs on the axle, if I did tabs on the top of the diff. then would it look weird because of the offset?
     
  2. not on a parallel 4 bar , but i assume you are talking about a triangulated 4 bar . the upper tabs would have to be different on each side because of the offset. it can be done so it doesn't look weird

    Yes, triangulated.

    Once it's installed you probably won't see much of the rear-end, especially the top. Here is a picture of my 29 coupe, with an 8". A 9" wouldn't be that much different.
