yep,so which of you guys is whipping up custom castor plans?

 

Mere peanuts to a hi roller like you Dusty . Is it possible to heighten the top mount into a tower arrangement? thereby then lift the bottom mount and possibly continue with the same shockers. I'll take a look at my truck tomorrow and see if I have any more stupid or idiotic ideas - not that it may help much

There is always the possibility to mount along the radius link and the shock inclined forwards and the further forward you mount them the shorter the shocks needed. The only issue is the stock radius link isn't designed for those extra point loads and the radius link would have a far greater bending moment.

 

France, that was my initial idea. Top axle, inside spring... As on front. Great minds, right. I still can not find a major draw back, save the fact that the tower would need be partially incorporated into the cargo cabin area. But that does not deter me from the idea. I am concerned that it would be a subtraction from articulation, I just don't see how...?

 

And peanuts for a high roller.... Ha. I dug out my trusty old kneepads so I can gather coin for this one

 

anyone know on the sg 3 link EDIT= nevermind, i figured it out

 

Deadly I'm told, great on the trails though. Here's a photo of a SG 3 link on a RRC.

 

that is nice^^... my thinking and continued research on front links is............ 4 link on rear would be pretty easy to figure/fit. but with custom arms on front..would the front then be controlling/limiting the articulation on the rear, even though the rear has greater potential? or would the arms allow enough articulation?

 

At a certain point, yes, but not generally. If there's a hole, your axle will be able to drop into it regardless of front suspension. But in a situation like a RTI ramp yes the front will be important for the rear links to work as seen here.

 

yikes. those are ifs, too, right?

 

so...lengthened, 6deg corrected arms with ballistic joints would get me there? that simple?
