links in the rear?
how did you get the rollcenter down? (body roll)
I am busy linking the rear off scorpion's truck and want to try and get away without using a "swaybarr"
The calculated rollcenter is high, but it feels stable as it stands ?

i kept it simple and cheep by using the rear trailing arms , coils and A-frame frome a landrover defender. the trailing arms are modified (side bar made from a LR swaybar and heavy guage tube) to beef them up abit which helps keep the body roll and axel steer in check but the A-frame remains as is. the coils dislocate to help it drop more and the shocks (landcruiser) are remounted to help flex too.the drop is limited by the shocks which aint the best way but ill be fitting straps soon . heres some pics that might help

Hi, a very unusual 'monster' you have there .... looks like she's more ready for the circuit than the road, and it looks like you're in love with her already.
Enjoy the Lux and the forum!
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.

And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
