Well, At the moment I am planning to use the stock front suspension and add an antisway. It is independent but uses a transverse leaf so relocating the cross member is not really feasible. I appreciate the thought but do have some pretty talented people available to help me here locally so whatever i can imagine they can build for me.

As for brakes I am pretty aware of the overall design of them. I am planning to install discs on the front as big as I can wedge into the 15 or 16" rims. I will probably need an adjustable brake bias device. I might even use one that self adjusts according to my load in back.
