Has anyone here added a Watts linkage to your rear end for tighter handling?

It seems fairly easy to weld a pivot to the diff housing and attach the ends to the rear subframe.

Just curious about the outcome, good/bad. Is it an improvement worth applying to a mild resto-mod highway cruiser?

It's a bit more involved than simply welding on brackets as you need to calculate roll center locations and arm arc movements, or figure adjustable points in to those locations to enable change.

IMO, it's a bit more work than necessary for just a cruiser and short of a race application where the adjustability is needed for tuning, overkill for the street. Improved leafs and shocks will yield greater results for the dollars spent, fab involved, and results you get for a street car.
