Check out extreme kustoms site. Rick has been building them for years. He invented a great merc 2 link set up that has plenty of articulation. He also has customized stock mercury A-arms that will help your frame get down to ground with bags.
lifestyles i didn't mean invented the 2 link. I think G.M. did that! sheesh!!!! We are talking mercs here. He has been building them a long time,They lay frame.
Bitch'n video. The caddy is way cool. I will think about the jag. I have 76 and I've been trying to figure out what to do with it.
Been bagging merc's for 20 some years and have seen and done just about every option you can think of. The Jag IFS is a decent choice and if installed correctly will handle better than 99% of all MII setup IMOP but the Jag shares some of the same negatives with MII when adding bags like limited real world wheel travel and limited to use bags that are on the small side to hold the weight of your merc. If you want your merc to drive very well with bags and you are willing to clip it use a 1st or 2nd gen camaro. If you do not want to clip it you might want to rake a look at my ball jointed stock a-arms. If interested in seeing some pic's let me know and i will post some.

Does any one know how well does Ricks ball joint conversion handle? And how does it compare to the Jamco kit?
