Actually I answered my own question after thinking about it. Like an idiot I was setting it up damn near like a race car, which meant I was getting a ton of pinion angle change with pivot points in the same plane. I was focusing too much on trying to keep everything low as possible.
I know you recommend the instant center to be near the bumper/grille/engine area, question then is do you really have any anti-squat at all? If no, is it something that can be helped?
I really want the truck to ride soft but not like a boat. I know a lot of this can be helped with shock location as well and quality of shock but I don't want the suspension to hinder this.
Also, I currently am in a strange predicament. I need a ton of lift in the rear of an SUV in order to untuck a 28" wheel and tire combo. However I only need this lift in order to make it easier to remove the wheels. I almost always drive in a cali position and don't have many issues.
I keep trying to write something but it doesn't come out correctly. Lets just put it this way, is it worth sacrificing pinion angle change (of course only to some degree) so that I can run my upper link bar front pivots closer to the ground and get better handling?
I have no intentions on racing this vehicle what so ever but I also don't want to take every turn at 20 miles an hour and everytime I punch the gas have the back end of the truck slam down. Maybe I am just going over board with what I think might happen.
sorry for the novel
