Thanks for the Comments, I agree with you on a couple of things,
One being the tubing at the one link Cross member mount, We are going to add some gusseting!
The other is the axle tube mount on the one link.. Ive seen these break there on leaf springs that used Plates and bolts vs. U-bolts. we will add some material there i think
That one link is the Largest joint i have ever seen, i think it is a 1 1/4" or so, Regardless its Beefy Stuff!
The other aspects of the suspension should be fine, Personally im not a fan or one links and Radius Arms, but its Ben's Rig, and he will build it however he wants! his plan is to prove me wrong in moab
Ben has ben Building Rock Buggies for his full time job for the past few years, they build Rovers with the same Radius Arm and Suspension setups that ben is using.. They are Simple designs, that have Proven very effective, and even Got them 12th at king of the hammers, and i believe 3rd place in the First XRRA Event this season. All with a V6 engine.
and what fun is it if everyone builds their rig the same exact way..
