    lol Wow... lovely fellas!!! :cool:

    Although... I will say I've never understand why opposing panhards is a good idea.... Even when Wyatt tried explaining it to me when I was asking about watt links vs panhards... I decided to just take his word that opposing panhards is a good set-up. In my mind, it would just exaggerate the problems one might see with a single panhard. (side-to-side axle movement for one) I didn't push it though, becasue I don't understand everything about these suspension set-ups and I figured I was missing something...........

    So true. the funny thing is i got the link calculator to say it works :D


    Yeah same here but it does seem to work and well so why not? As long as it handles well on the road I'm golden. I know it will preform on the trail so my on road manners is my greatest concern.

    Get it done :thumbsup:

    Will try to help, I'd look into reading books on basic Push-Rod Suspension if you look into Cantilever setups as the ideology is the same as used on a car. :cool:

    Yeah I've been reading a lot! There is lots of mini trucks and street rods with canti set ups. The mechanics of it doesn't look that difficult it's all geometry. Getting the shocks set up properly is going to be a headache

    Almost all Supercars, and race cars (Formula Style) run push-rod setups (technical name for Cantilever). The idea and design is the same that can be used in the truck.

    Valving will be the most difficult but with some testing and trying you can do it:cool:

    very true. helps lower the car a ton. Plus with new carbon springs coming out the shocks themselves are being made smaller for lighter weight.

    valving will be a bitch for this no doubt..But not impossible.

    That video Wyatt posted of the highway driving is literally right next to my house. I was watching the first ten seconds of it thinking how familiar that looked and then saw the sign for Cameron Park Dr and realized it was highway 50 at my turnoff haha.

    Jerry, can you break it down for a noob like me. What's the benefit of what you're doing versus a standard setup? Do you get a lot more flex and travel?
