what to read

ok i just wanna know a list of suspention design books u recomend to buy and study.

You must not get MiniTruckin'

Tune to Win and Engineer to Win by Carroll Smith

Chassis Engineering by Herb Adams

There is a lot more info in the Carroll Smith books, but they are pretty advanced. They have the best info for building parts and using bolts tho. Chassis Engineering is a good book to get started with.

yes i do get minitruckn' along with hotrod and gm hightech performance but anyways. ok and all of these would be at booksamillion or should i find them on the net. and one last question in your opinion what is the best rear suspention design from the small amount or research i have done and little knowledge i have a parallel 4link and watts link seems to have the most pros with the least cons.

or if u could just email me all ur rightups for minitruckn' that would help alot man grapelowrider@yahoo.com

It all comes down to what it is that you want the system to excel at. Different frames, different necessities, different budgets all have a different answer. In my book, the best system with the least amount of cons is an A-arm irs. It works the best in 90% of applications, but even then, each unique situation would be addressed differently geometricaly.
