Default Thanks for the responses!

Hey guys, thanks for the responses. I was also looking forward to more of the fundamental suspension design theory on why a sway bar is needed on a 3 Link design? It seems to me that the purpose of a 3 Link + Watts provides the most articulation while keeping both tires in contact with ground. By adding a sway bar, the torsional stiffness of the suspension system is changed, giving it adaptability, but at the expense of articulation. How do you know a baseline for how much torsional rigidity is needed? Got any good books that address these specifics?


@Dave, that is one sweet looking sway bar set up. What diameter axle tube is that mount designed for?


Thanks, Josh
