Suspension Question??
Does anyone know how this setup would work? I know it is a cantilever system but it looks like the shock waves would just lift without picking up the frame. Sorry about the stupidity of the question, I just really like this setup!

Re: Suspension Question??
It's not done. Looks to be missing a link from the top of arm to the axle so when the shockwave inflates it levers over and pushes the arm down which pushes the frame up and away from the axle.

Re: Suspension Question??
Is there a reason the shockwaves are installed in an angle rather than straight up and down? Are they supposed to be at opposing angles compared to the link to the axel in a cantilever set up?

Re: Suspension Question??
i'm guessing aesthetics played a role to the eventual design. who's truck is this? where did the pic originally come from?
