With such a limited run of trucks I think we are screwed unless Boomer comes up with something. Big companies will not invest in the R&D when they will sell a few hundred at most.
Watts linkage will help. It will keep the truck flat. Look up an old Mazda RX-7 with a non-independant rearend. They all used watts linkage to make them corner flat and they did. Old trick from the early nascar days. It works period.CarDude said:Would Cal Tracs help with lateral stiffness?

Old fart idea: one more for the record. I was building these when I was 15 years old and they still workSilverback said:Not a bad idea for an old fart.
Oh yes. That's what I want. Get rid of the frame flex, bump steer and uncontrollable suspension dampening. My 2k Honda s2000 and 93 RX-7 had the handling. I would be happy with half of it.Silent D said:While we're on the subject: What would it cost to completely redesign the chassis.....? Tube frame, fully independent suspension....the works... You know..... Make it right...... so it handles like a 5000lb sports car....
20k........?
