Wanting to learn suspension.

Would like a specific book or Web address that I can go to, to learn how to figure out the geometry, ride height, and material needed to build a parallel or triangulated 4-link. I've tried googling and it's a lot of four wheel drive applications. Video would be great to. Thanks for any help.

Re: Wanting to learn suspension.

Depending on how in depth you want to get:

Make it Handle (the long and awesome thread on here): http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=419251

Ride Height discussion (with a lot of really good info from Rob-No Limit): http://www.pro-touring.com/threads/1...01-Ride-Height

Basic Rear Suspension Set Up: http://www.pro-touring.com/threads/1...my-3-link-bars

Way too in depth front suspension: http://www.pro-touring.com/threads/1...ck-Performance

If you want an actual book I really like: Chassis Engineering by Herb Adams Chassis Engineering: Chassis Design, Building... Chassis Engineering: Chassis Design, Building...
As for size/material for the set up, most venders will have universal kits. As long as you are using them as intended you should be fine.
