i think you should leave them separate. i dont think it would work the way you want it to if you made it one solid piece. you do want them to move, correct? if they are not supposed to move then yes i would make it one solid piece! i hope this helps!

what are the advantages of this? im more up and up on 1:1 OR suspensions, but i just dont see the benefits here other thana bit more droop .... but where there is undampened droop, there is undampened compression and i just done see that could be helpful in many situations. explanations? |

Well the concern i would have is i unloading on inclines. If they are not tied together you would also have issues with sidehilling since the upper link could unload as well. My best example would be unfilled shocks without springs. I have been having trouble with my current setup unloading and i am throwing springs in the shocks to set it up for droop. Other than that you would get TONS of flex which again could cause issues. Now i will say that is some great innovation and thinking outside the box. Go to the rocks and let us know how it REALLY works. Cole |
