Rear suspension... thinking out loud
Hey guys, just thinking of some stuff I may want to do on a project I may start
It would be an 88-98 SWB And if I bag it, I was curious about how I may do the rear suspension Got to thinking & thought maybe make some trailing arms like the 67-72 has, but run them parallel instead of triangular With that you would need a fairly hefty system to keep the rear from moving side to side, so I was thinking of building a watts link I would want the arms to be fairly long to keep the axle arc down to a minimum through its travel & mount the bags forward a lil bit from where the 67-72 springs are, to have a lil better ride Are there any pros or cons to this ??? Does anyone have specs on what it takes to build a watts link ??? I would be making everything from scratch, as Im low on cash flow Thanks, Matt Here is a rough lil drawing of what Im talking about Last edited by Spray-Bomb; 08-29-2009 at 01:56 AM. |
