2:1 cantilever drawing

been done tons of times
just a little drawing i did nothing too fancy or crazy but this is pretty much the basic layout i want to build



forward running link bars with a reverse 2:1 cantilever

probably gonna use a watts link or maybe change it up to a wishbone 3 link

nothing is to scale and the angles are off yes i know..

oh ya.. and i forgot to ask.. but with that setup does anyone know if it will throw bigger sides out back since the levers are putting all the force towards the outside ?

By placing the "springs" as far to the outside of the rearend as possible you really only get more of what is called "roll-resistence." As for sides... it's not really going to help much.

Actually in theory it will probably hurt side-to-side action, but that is a whole other discussion.

nice, simple drawing.

Drawing looks good. If you stay true to the triangulated four link you won't need to worry about a wishbone or Watt's link. I like it! Keepin' things simple and clean is always a plus in my book.

Thanx the attenton wll be on the lazer cut cantilever

im doing a canti on my 720 and wondering how it would work if you placed the arms that push down on the link bars instead of the rear end?? and has anyone ever tried this style setup with air cylinder?? any pics would be appricated

i just saw a pic of that today... try'n to find the pic.... looked nifty, my guess is it would work just fine.

yea i havent seen on set up like that but i was wondering if someone had it out there.. but i just hope it isnt on a 720 excab lb

would this be how the bag mounts?

and if u have three i guess ill say attatchments, one to the bag, one to the rear end...where does the third go? the chassis? and which one goes where?
