Nick, I would be interested in the name of the place. Madmooks turned it down.I may try Ogden if they'll talk to me anymore after the crap I gave them about my bumpers.

Guess I should check that on mine to see if I'll have this same issue.the rear swaybar link comes really close to hitting the batwing mount. I'm going to extend the top of the link by 1/2"
How about lengthening that link by cutting in the middle of it, then welding in the extension piece? Seems like you can swing the swaybar up another inch or so before it would hit the wagon floor sheetmetal, so how about just making longer links that offset enough to move around the batwing mount as it moves up and down? Just thinking out loud here...

That's at full droop, will the added weight of the wheel/tire cause a closer condition? How often will you experience this? Will the CO Shocks act as limiters in the travel?
Paul, this is not an issue on a full-width rearend like yours. Mine is narrowed 3" so the knuckle is moved much closer to the batwing. In retrospect I think I would have been better off narrowing the batwing too, but this can be fixed.
I thought about taking another pair of links and cutting these above center and the other pair below center and welding them together in the thick part. But after looking at it it's a lot easier to just lengthen both tabs on each link.How about lengthening that link by cutting in the middle of it, then welding in the extension piece?
My swaybar can't hit the floor or the tubs. The tubs are moved inboard 4", almost to the frame rails, so there's nothing above the swaybar.Seems like you can swing the swaybar up another inch or so before it would hit the wagon floor sheetmetal,

I've been told Advanced Plating here in Nashville, TN does excellent work. I personally haven't used them myself as I'm nowhere near that phase yet. They're right up the road from me so I plan to bring them a few pieces when I get to that point and test them out.

Are you referring to Al's?
No, the shock is fully extended in that picture. It can't go any lower without disconnecting it. It could go this low when I remove the wheels and tires.
I modified the links this morning...stock is on the right. I need to fit them to make sure nothing else is going on....

The problem with Advanced Plating in my experience is they're WAAAAAY expensive. I had them quote my front bumper and they said it would be $2500 or more, more than TWICE what others quoted.
