Make sure the welds are good.  The ZW Challenge had two busted 3rd link mounts.  Granted they were pushing it, but shows the amount of forces at work there.

You want it equal to your lift.

Hi Steve - I had heard about Fuller's link breaking but didn't hear about a second one. Did you guys have trouble with that too? Aren't you running stock parts back there?

First breakdown was a cold weld on lifted mount.  They allowed me to go in and get part between the starting groups (while Peggy found a welding shop online to repair it), then take it back in after last group.  That is what put Kris 2 1/2 hours behind everyone.
We have 30" lower arms, and a modified upper link.  With the motor switch not enough time to 4 link it.

Read this over, it may be another option for you. I personally prefer this over a spacer.

i originally had a block with long bolts, but they failed

now have an H shaped one, and offset, to sort out the angles
