You should adjust the coilover and it's mounts so that the coilover bottoms out on its bump stop before the axle crashes into the frame. This will ensure that the shock is not overextended during droop, as that would ruin the coilover instantly. A limit strap to control droop would be a good idea as well. This machine is looking awesome, a stark contrast to it's first iteration! Can't wait to see it on the track!

@@tylerreed7385 when you have a clamping arrangement, the only force the bolt really “sees” is the clamping load. Almost all of the shear and lateral load will be channeled from the heim joints onto the sleeve and directly to the frame. The friction force the bolt creates would be tremendous and you would need a crash impact to defeat that. Sure it could be a double shear arrangment, but that doesn’t seem entirely necessary.

@nestordreiergligoor8516 Жыл бұрын
It is looking very nice, the only thing that I noticed is that you welded the top mounting brackets of the springs of the cantilever setup strait to the bar. The springs are under a lot of pressure longways because they can not pivot at the end. If the bar can rotate or the springs have an pivot system in it, than it is ok. If not, you have springs that want to go in a banana like shape while they can only compress in 1 direction. I see it already in the video. That is why cantilever springs have at the bottom and at the top horizontal mounting bracket other than a vertical top and a horizontal bottom mounting bracket relative to the springs itself.
The coilovers really should be the double eyelet type in this application.

This is the sickest parallel 4-link I've seen in a truck. I love the stance, too. Not to mention that a little squat will transfer some needed weight to the rear for better grip. Now, I know the front suspension is done, but I learned something really interesting recently about tire slip angle and how it relates to Ackerman steering geometry. Basically, the more load you have on a tire, the greater the slip angle can be without losing grip. To that effect, Formula 1 actually uses ANTI-ackerman since their outside tire is seeing more load than the inside due to weight transfer and downforce. The reverse is also true, the LESS load on a tire, the LESS slip angle it can have. So I had an epiphany after a few moments of thinking and realized that DRIFT CARS load up the leading front tire, but UNLOAD the trailing front tire in a drift. However, with Ackerman steering, during a DRIFT, the outside tire (in regards to the direction you're turning), which is trailing behind you with less load is the one that has a greater difference of angle compared to the direction of travel. Which means it experiences more slip angle with less load and therefore drags along while adding no control the the steering. Basically, it would give you WAY more front control if you switched your steering to ANTI-ackerman steering. It'll just drive a little strangely at low speeds when NOT drifting. Kinda like the front end equivalent to a welded diff skipping the tire. It'll also wear tires slightly faster in grip driving situations, though with high speed and good load transfer, it'll once again have MORE grip in the twisties with anti-ackerman.

The cantilever system definitely works, but it feels like lighting a cigarette with a blowtorch aka overkill. With a few modifications and improvements it could be closer to lighting a cigar with a blowtorch aka a bit more appropriate. For example you can use the triangle to get a mechanical advantage, or the corner of the triangle that the shock connects to is twice as far from the pivot point vs the corner that goes to the axle. In this example you could use shocks that are twice as long but only see 1/2 the forces. Also one inch of axle movement would be 2 inches of shock compression. This is how supercars with only a few inches of total suspension travel are setup. In those cars you would need crazy shocks to deal with the huge forces to keep the suspension within an inch or two of travel. Using the mechanical advantage allows the forces the shocks experience to be spread out over a longer distance. This also increases their responsiveness and characteristics of the dampening, because shocks are better at dampening large movements vs small movements. However I understand that this would require a bit of math and buying new shocks, but you wanted to use the shocks you already had. Perhaps in the future you might consider making new triangles and trying out longer shocks. Finally I'd also suggest shortening the bar that connects the triangle to the axle or use the bottom hole on the axle. You want the bottom of the triangle to be level with the ground at ride height or in the middle of the travel so that half of the travel the triangle is tipping down, and the other half of the travel the triangle is tipping up. Then you just lengthen the shocks to adjust ride height. This is because the more the triangle tips, the closer the axle gets to the pivot point, which reduces the leverage.
