I don't think it's done yet. What did some of your rides look like when they were half done? Seems like a lot of stuff but love the idea of it moving straight up and down, thinking outside the box.

I understand it. Very good idea, just needs cleaned up and a little reinforcement. If done properly, there should be absolutely no axle movement at all. (s/s, pinion change, nothing.) I saw it in person, clean it up a bit and it would be interesting to watch when it was operating.

She must have $400 in bushings!  I see why she's been working on it for many, many years, too many freakin links!!

A for effort just needs a bit more work I think it would look sick once its all done and painted or powdercoated

I like the idea but it is confusing. A watts link in thoery is not that complicated. I see that her front to back links are opossite each other though... I think thats what is throwin everyone off because we are so used to asymetrical front to back links... When you first think about it, it would seem like the links being opposite eachother would cause pull. But the more I think about it, she is using the 2 links to act as one and the right to left link prevents pull... Hope this helps some of you that are still going HUH?

I think that theres one watts in front of the axle and one behind the axle because thats what keeps the axle from rotating as well as keeps it located front to back.  The third just locates the axle from left to right.

I love the fact that a chick is trying to get a sick truck built, but she needs to go get her money back on the suspension! It looks like garbage and that's putting it lightly. Nevermind how shitty it looks, it's so UNSAFE.

I think you mean to say "I think that theres one watts link bar in front of the axle and one behind the axle because thats what keeps the axle from rotating as well as keeps it located front to back." Correct?
