Can anyone tell me what's involved with converting to d2 axles on a defender, does the watts linkage get used or the a frame. And does anyone know the best way of aligning the axle? Cheers Chris

You can do either, or convert to 4 link .. whatever you like or your fabrication skills can manage. A-frame is probably simplest.
Use a jig or big set squares to align axles to chassis, but bear in mind that axles travel in an arc, depending upon the length of the links used, so you need to be mindful where in the arc you align them.

The arc isn't of great worry as when i plan to fit these I'm goin to trayback it, what sort of setup is best for less axle walk along with good articulation. I do have a 4 wheel laser aligner but with the d2 axles being wider and the thing bein so dam sensitive i think it'd be easier to do it landrovers 3 feet tolerance technique lol
