Use the original front holes and move the rear holes back 2 3/4" (i will double ck that) as per my post earlier. It has worked out well so far

Thanks

I used a 1980 Liquifire rear suspension. I modified it by narrowing it by 1/4 inch to fit the AC track properly. The center rail distance of the AC track is 7-3/4 inch where as the JD rail center is 8 inch. Others are using the Liquifire suspension as is, but jdxspec and I have cut off the steel tabs that stick up against the inside of the track drive lugs. They were digging into the driveshaft drivers.
