the reason there is gap because i had to put 2 wood stick between notch and axle so my rear wheel can move if nothing then we cannot move the truck. if there no wood its lay frame acutally it touck the leaf bracket..

me or one of my buddies? No, but thanks for assuming.

The geo for a reverse 4link pulls the wheels backwards when you stop. The wheels can actually come off the ground during extreme breaking.

eh, i was kind of upset about it. it's not like you to just jump on someone's case and i was going to PM you about it, but i suppose no harm, no foul.

now that i think about it, i can visually picture the forces in motion and how the rear wheels could come off the ground, but the person, i believe, would have to be riding either very low, or very fast. in either case it would have to be cloes to emergency braking procedures. is this correct or am i off?

[AcidDrive]

pretty much you're right.

The problem is the reverse 4 link will do nothing more than keep the rear in place. Which is good, but you can't take off fast or it'll jar around. And if you break hard, it could leave the ground. But if you just cruise and baby it, it will work for you.

i guess my boy Rich is good then because he baby's the shit out of his taco, lol, lmfao!!!

maybe i can get this shit on video, tell him to floor it and drop the clutch and then get him to break hard when he's low and see if i can't get documented proof.

i'm not doubting that it can be done, i just really, REALLY want to see it for myself.

but anyways, let's get back on topic...

[AcidDrive]

yeah get some video man. That would be awesome.

[JediSpam]

i'll ask him, but i'm almost certain he won't do it, like i said he baby's his truck. we shall see though.

[greg larkins]

so, Art, wood? i'm gonna go out on a limb and say: big no no! explain to me exactly why you needed to have a gap to put wood blocks. unless you have no side to side brace ie. panhard bar, to control L2R motion.

you won't have to as long as you get the triangulated 4 link in there correctly. you can sketch up some ideas and PM them to me and i can tell you the good and bad of each design. let me know, or let the whole forum know, what you're thinking about, and we can steer you in the right direction.

kool diagram.

but not to size. If you think of the links at how long they are, your showing feet of travel, not inches. I like how it shows what to get in articulation. pretty kool.

Hope he got an A on it for shcool. lol
