scary suspension setup? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Prerunner1982 · 12-27-2004, 05:51 PM

some of you may recognize this... its interesting and creative and i suppose that for an offroad only vehicle that is trailered from trail to trail that it would be ok.... but i dunno...

yes... those are trailer ball hitches used as suspension components...

Thats called a one link. Theres are seveal big threads about it over on boards at pirate4x4.com do a search and take a look. They seem to work pretty well if done correctly (though using the trailer components isnt my first choice it does seem to work for some). A lot of guys use what they call grader balls. Its really interesting, go take a look.
