this is the best i can explain it was a couple pages back The wheels hold up the beam. The radius arm keeps the beam from rocking front to back by connecting it to the chassis with th long arm. (its better to do it with two arms to eliminate castor angle change but im broke and i didnt want to...

2"x.120 is the same material monster trucks and trophy truck chassis are made out of. My car will probably weigh in at well under 3000 pounds and i plan on slowly cruising up pacific coast highway to find hot chicks. I think ill be fine.

I ride a motorcycle to work every day. it doesnt offer much protection either.

When the suspension is at full droop, or when i jack the chassis up all the way till it hits the rear steering tie rod the chassis is about 8-10" off the ground. i have to pre load the spring by standing on it and sliding the bolt through to attach the chain. when i let the jack down the chassis...
