mk2 escort kit would fit a escort and weld to chassis legs, considered this myself then use a mk2 arb with rose jointed drop links

Do front and back mounted jobbies work equally well?
Seems a no brainer if so. Mount from the front as it's the easiest option

Mine is and I have a arb all on rose jointed drop links for adjustment
