Cool variation of a rocker arm suspension you posted. Also very interesting . I see a lot of good things with the one DS linked me to, kind of scratching my head as to how the one you posted can have much articulation though.

Well,that's weird. The vid shows to me. I wonder how that is . I'm on the way to LS now. I'll try to correct this later.

video is there when i open the page. i have seen other cantilever designs over the years. have even played around with such a design for the front end of the rails since they are so light. when i say that i am basing that statement off the fact that a fox 2.0 air shock is a touch on the light side if you get to jumping a lot and fox 2.5 air is too much shock to get a decent ride but damns sure will never bottom out pinned out down hil  rofl. so the cantilever design would offer smaller shocks and inboard packaging which would clean the front end up. one could also set them up with in cab adjustable. you would add weight to the front end which is the biggest down fall i can see to be honest. the design in the video both intrigues and puzzles me.  the pic is about the idea i toyed with.

these are ideas for enemy and big dave to think about involving baja builds. especially if one wanted to run c/o's with remote res with quick valve adjusters.

There is a company that makes a cantilever set up up for Ford F-150 Raptors that actually a utilize Deaver leaf pack.  They ride really nice in the dunes as well as the road.
