Re: GM 12 bolt swap?

i was thinking of doing a 4 link set up but the way its looking ill need to cut out the metal from behind my rear seat and attach a bar from the side arm rest area in the back seat that my top links will mount to. then i would have to throw out the idea of a back seat or notch the seat its self to fit around the bar.
