4x4 thought
What if you had a long bed 2wd with coil spring rear, added another set of trailing arms and coil springs to the front and added a front 4wd axle? Lots of work, but cool idea.
But not as wacky as that one where it has two driveshafts and diffs on the front!

Re: 4x4 thought
You mean basically flip the rear suspension design around with a steering axle? I think it would have very undesirable handling at best, and at worst be dangerous to drive at speed. I think the trailng arm suspension is only suitable to be just that - trailing.

Ford did it for years with wishbones and then radius rods.
