Anyone designing and building their own independant suspension? (1 Viewer)

Because these are not powered wheels then there should be little torsional flex I'd figure other than maybe during braking. The drawback of that design is simply ground clearance... I like the approach he has taken there with his own addressing issue (longer arms) being the biggest thing I see.... And using split reservior airbags also as indicated...

Ash, No problem, My thought was to run the tube at the angle for strength and clearance. I guess I could be wrong on the strength issue, my thought was the twisting of the axle was the biggest concearn. I don't know if the "H" design would be stonger then the "y". You do bring up a valid question. Maybe an engineer can chime in...

Also, you might find it intresting that the brakes are electric, but they have the ability to have a emergency brake (cable) attached to them. I figured this would be good if I am ever unhooking the trailer on a hill. The axle was a dexter product.
