I am running a radius arm suspension. When you go to full flex, the shock, that is mounted by a bolt parallel to the axle, is really bound up. As the axle tilts, the shock bushing is crushed. The bushing can literally limit the droop due to this angle.
I am going to make my problem worse because I am going to allow more flex due to a wristed radius arm and a 12" shock. I have been brainstorming to find a simple answer. I can only think of two. I could use a BPE and allow the BPE to rotate in it's mounting hole on the radius arm, or I could angle the shock mounting bolt back at a 45 degree angle. This angle would split the deformation cause by the downward angle on the arm with the twisting action on the arm.
Anybody got any other bright ideas?
