That's a lot of travel

But that’s also the 0 load, full travel height, no? With a tire and the regular load of the chassis sitting normally, it should look less scary, possibly?

Maybe, that drive shaft will not be happy as is.

Suddenly and for no reason I need to build a Jag rear with a width of about ten feet.

Yes, complicate and add weight!

According to my highly calibrated smart phone protractor held up to my monitor that is 25deg, so not as bad as it looks and maybe ok at ride height

Actually, the funny thing is that by modifying a Jag IRS to work with that kind of throw, you’d be ending up with something very much like an upside-down Chapman strut rig. As in, by Colin. As in, designed to reduce weight *if made out of light material*.

Building in my head maybe.

Dat cv angle tho!

ok but taking a thing and making it bigger will make it heavier.

Ok, time to remake everything in alumin I um that isn’t already. And make it hollow.

I was going to say “eh, that’s just at max droop” but given that it’s on the front of a truck like this I imagine it will be hitting these sorts of angles fairly regularly. Unless show truck.

Aaaaaaaand that’s why you run limiting straps.

Damn son. That’s some dampening!

Travel aside, that thin metal suspension rod looks scary to me.

The high articulation CV joints seem like the most difficult part
