must concentrate on one thing at once  :roll:

Mace,

Go to the video section of mud-club and download the "Belgium2" video. Watch George with his non-anti-rollbar suspension get stuck, and the anti-roll barred vehicles walk the twister.....

Dave:
CONES I went to whaddon last year. The spring came out of place, did not notice till started to drive home and smelt rubber tyres £100 odd each stopped at the side of the road Chris "big boy" helped me put it back in. Don't want it to happen again. I have 2" lift springs and shocks should this not happen :?:  Hence the cones.

from my personal experience


using <expletive deleted>(laughs at tim) cones.


dislocating suspension travel really made no difference to traction

ie wheels moving the vehicle forward

but it does allow me to travel through crossaxled situations a little better(dependant on speed)

it does allow me to pop over larger mounds at a diagonal angle and not get grounded.

i dont have bump stops anywhere near long enough to stop the wheel hitting the rear inner arch.

although twin shocks allow a little more resistance

so if i drive quick enough then the wheel and arch do not contact

the a frame ball joint bears the brunt of this stress

if i came to a halt in a cross axled situation and my wheel made contact with the inner arch then halfshafts could easily snap.

my god ive rambled on

traction======no
get further =======yes
cause more damage=======yes


wheels on ground doesnt equal traction

bodys hanging on the vehicle over the spinning wheel helps :wink:

the physics are in the above comment


but as for my <expletive deleted>(second laugh at tim ) cones

i am keeping them

Poppycock, the lot of ya...old debate no-one will ever conclude. Each seem to be entrenched on one side or the other and no-one is giving ground.
I dont know the answer either....Simon i'm worried about your comment. I wouldn't want to meet the bloke who could lift my dislocated axle one handed....how big was he or is this an urban myth, the giant scorpion axle monster??? Im 16 and a half stone of lard and pretty strong. I will try this in the light tomorrow and i suspect that it isnt possible.
The only benefit i can see is that with increased travel the suspension reacts more steadily and allows the vehicle to remain more stable...but the taller the vehicle the less stable it will become.
