Tube/Hybrid Stretched 40 Frame and Suspension Design - Advice/Comments? (3 Viewers)

I'll be interested to see how the geometry works out. I'm still planning on turning my winch into a suckdown, which basically negates all of the front geometry anyways. I know the good moon buggies and KOH trucks usually have the geometry to work extreme well, but a lot of them still run one anyways for the control. The only guys that I have never really seen not running a suckdown are the bouncers, and they seem to prefer horsepower and wheel spin to send it.

I did cross post my thinking on the irate numbers thread and Treefrog has come back with some of his thoughts and added to the bible, but I guess I've made him think a bit and he may have more to add when he gets time.

I am also looking into a suckdown now myself, but will definitely want to have a decent range of adjustability in my brackets to play with antis.

Was just revisiting the irate thread and saw your posts; were you or FJdiesel at SAS? Did we meet?
I’m really happy with my suspension, short of no sway bars - actually I’m happy with it but people smarter than me are telling me I need them - but anyway saw where you asked about others sharing their numbers and I’d be happy to if you want. Not sure where you or @fjdiesel are at on your builds.
I know I don’t regret one minute I spent studying those link calculators.
