Default Critique this suspension setup please

Anyone see a problem with running this setup with the arms offset. disregard this shock being to long. I am just wondering about how the arms are setup? I want the room to have the option to run a bypass shock. I have 6 degrees of caster, 6 degrees rake, good camber change etc and plenty of room if I setup like this. Whatchoo think?

How is your rack going to fit in? And what type are you going to use?

Absolutely nothing wrong with it. In fact, it's a great setup, as it loads the chassis in a wider area instead of the arms being directly above each other.

Many of the full size desert vehicles - TT, Class 1, Class 10 run setups similar to what you've drawn.

Looks good.

The partners split ways.Their builder and a couple guys are trying to continue on under their name from my understanding. I wish him luck.But the mosebillt partners are no more. Things are getting tough in the full size market.

Then mosebilt's not out of business, just restructuring. Doesn't look like they are slowing down on projects..

Right on. Yoshi, I must have never noticed that yours were like that. Did you recently change that? I have noticed the big class 1's and TT's like that though. It made alot more since to me to set it up like that.

Not sure on which rack to use yet. But there should be ample room for whatever I choose. Anyone know what small PS racks are out there that are more suited to the minis?
