[QUOTE="wizzo, post: 663485, member: 125"] I'm planning on trailing arms on my next build. I do NOT plan on running the shock eye below the center line, for exactly the reason mcutler mentioned, rock magnets. I'm not a desert racer but I can see the benefit of the design even in rock crawling/ trail digger use. My plan is to bushing the lower shock eyes. Run DOM with solid aluminum inside. Something I am keeping an eye on is two new buggy's Todd Puckett has done recently. His own personal and a customer buggy. Both are running shock eye's above center line and NO bushings at the shock eye or on the heims on the link. Will be interesting to see what happens. We discussed it a bit at the AOP one shot qualifier race. Todd has done some very unique designs that have worked out well. He is also running is own C's and knuckles. If you see his rig out, spend some time checking it out. The design I'm leaning toward imitating is what Randy Slawon at Bomber Fab does but with only one 3" coil over and sway bar link: [IMG]https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/10402984_757581030929389_4391297468984395984_n.jpg?oh=9547b42c5d684ca1b62c7c1eef5862e3&oe=59E628BA[/IMG] Hope some more tech comes out of this thread. It's definitely cool to see this technology incorporated into rock crawling/ trail riding/ rock racing. [/QUOTE]
