Not sure what you mean. And you need to upload your pics to a picture hoster in order to use the [IMG] tags.

I did a little googling, it looks like a 3 link kind of. Remove the lower links, turn the 3link around and mount the ball on the chassis and solid mount the double end to the lower mounts of the axle. Put some shocks/springs on it and a panhard bar to keep it centered. Am I correct?

Have never seen a setup like that, pretty cool considering how simple it is.

2 day ago I was taking pics of the suspension setup on a articulated 6x6 Volvo dump truck and that's the basic idea behind the rear suspension on those rigs.  Last edited by BigSki; 04-12-2011 at 02:52 PM. |
