Dont give him any ideas.....

 

Well... if you guys look around you'll notice that there's a member on here who's done both those things (hence the reference ccreddell), and now goes around and gives people advice on builds like he knows what the hell he's talking about.

I agree with Mangled, I think this kids got ***** and good idea's but no experience.

 

Let's not go bashing other members here. There's a lot worse than mine floating around, but that's neither here nor there.

I'm just documenting what I'm doing.

I have been thinking this over and as far as your suspension design goes I think the angle of your trailing arms are going to cause an issue with the coil springs and your U joint.

As the spring compresses under force the angle of the arm is going to pull the axle up and forward. Doing this is going to pull the spring forward essentially trying to rip it out of its pocket. In addition to that your pinion is going to rotate downward increasing the pinion angle in relation to the drive shaft angle and putting more stress on the U joint.

What you want is for the pinion to maintain as close to a zero angle difference with the drive shaft as possible through out it's suspension cycle. You may want to consider moving them under the axle to put them more parallel with the drive shaft and minimize any pull/push forces on the coil springs. A good example would be to look at the way they set up a NASCAR chassis rear suspension. I am not saying you have to use Long Truck arms but look at how there set up functions.

I have exaggerated a drawing of what I currently see. Keep in mind that all your mounting points are solid as you move the suspension through its arc.
