Pics of the cantilever setup, I made it from the stock chassis plates. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Works great for stopping from high centering on the skid, while still riding nice and low for COG. ![]() |

That's some serious shock travel limiting of the rear left ![]() |

| ![]() No doubt. I can't believe the GC3 allows that much 'twist. Did you alter the GC3's link geometry? About the c'lever - when it moves/pulls down, I can see the movement is stopped by the nuts hitting the GC3 chassis. Regarding the other direction - what prevents the shocks from moving up, spinning around the pivot point a little? It looks like it might be the tops of shocks themselves if they hit the c'lever mounting screws, but it seems that that would introduce a bind point when articulating...? How about some flex shots? ![]() Last edited by JeepinOR; 05-19-2010 at 08:28 AM. |

shock cap contacts mount screw. shock limiter is a memory foam ear plug so its not limiting as much as it seems. no binding at all from shock cap contact point. no i did not change the geometry of the links. i did move to the lowest holes so i could fit elecronics on the uppers

How long are pieces you cut from you old chassis? Any reason for that particular length? Do you think it might benefit being a little longer?

That makes a lot of sense haha. Can't wait for flex pics

FYI that is not a cantilever setup, not even close. ![]() |

Thanks for clearing that up. Well I guess it could be called a variable link suspension sorry for the confusion. cantilever is not independent and it is spring loaded. is that correct? I could make this both rears/fronts work at the same time by moving the body mounts and I could easily make it a sprung lever. and I could make the levers longer and get longer drive shafts. sky's the limit. ![]() |

With a setup like that what is the point of shocks ? A setup like that gives you 0% predictability,the truck is just going to do as it pleases.

flex shots... ![]() ![]() ![]() The shocks actually still do most of the work, but thanks for the input ![]() |
