You know me, always up to something. Now that a majority of the SFA swap on my truck is done Ive all of a sudden found tons of free time. I know I have details to work out still but I cant help but look farther down the line.
What I mean by this is looking at 4 link design for the back. I have some knowledge of how a 4 link works but im not sure what will be best for my aplpication. Heres where I am now:
-It needs to be streetable - no questions asked.
-I would like to run equal length links if possible, so I can carry a single spare.
-I would like to have adjustable brackets so I can fine tune the links
Now here are the questions:
-what is acceptable antisquat, Ive read anywere from 60%-110%, 80% being about the average
-where do I want my roll center exactly, more exactly how high do I want it
-should I run triangulated uppers and lowers?
-Is the equal length link a good idea, alot of people say to run the top links 75% of the length of the lowers, this way your antisquat doesnt increase when your suspension drops out and in real world situations push your ass end up when in a climb or something.
-Whats your take on springs - coilovers, air shocks, half leafs... whats a good way to go.
-What size tube/ends. I want the lowers to be able to take a beating for sure, maybe as much as .5" wall tube.
Now some things to consider:
-I will be running a fuel cell so there will be no tank in the way.
-I will be hacking my bed and turn it into a removable skin with a flatbed so dont worry about room, ill make room.
Now I have alot more questions but lets start here. Also ANY input is welcome. Im in teh very very very begining of the design phase so ALL options are wide open.
