Front end lift geometry (1 Viewer)

[T Y L E R]

Been wondering ...

When you go to a bigger lift on an 80 , how does that affect the wheels position to the wheel well ?

IOW's does the wheel well appear to go straight up , or does it go up and forwards .. or even up and backwards ?

TY

PS : Let me know if that makes any sense to you guys ... thanx

At a guess te radius arm dictates the ralationship of the wheel on extension and compression. So as the wheel goes down and the suspension is extended or compressed the wheel will try to subscribe an ark about the pivot of the radius arm. It would depend on the starting point ie when the radius arm is normal to the horizontal, and any deviation from that up or down will put the wheel backwards relertive to the wheel well. So is the radous arm inclined to the horizontal? If it is inclined you can work it by geometry.

After a certain amount(not sure how much) of lift, the arms become much shorter at a quicker rate. It moves the tire down and back. Slees arms fix this by being longer, and bent to fix caster also.
