all those 4 link mud trucks have very soft suspension though
dont be hatin, everybody knows the mud trucks only have 4-link set ups cause it looks cool. they dont do any better than the leaf spring trucks in deep mud, and I have noticed that the trucks really want to roll over when climbing out of the off camber ruts. It really doesnt matter that much on a mud truck, but if you are rockcrawling/racing thats a whole nother story.fl-krawler said:Most of these events are pretty local to me.. 99% of the trucks out there have engines in them that required a second mortgage. The link geometry on most of the trucks is a joke. Most of the trucks are being built with negative antisquat numbers. A good portion of the local builders have absolutely no clue.They cant tell you what kind of effects link placement has on the handling of the truck. They just want to have a 4 linked truck and start building.. Then 3 or 4 other guys think the truck is awesome and copy it... before you know it that "design" is gospel and when asked "if the link geometry was so good why does the truck squat or try to roll over on itself, all they can come back with is b/c of the motor in the truck. 50% of my business is redoing these fawkups, mostly comming out of other shops..
