how hard would be to ditch the strut setup and run a true twin A arm setup?Im thinking twin A arms because just about no matter how high you jack the car up it doesnt have camber issues(assuming A arms are equal length).Granted the CV's might not like it but couldnt the shaft be lengthed and flexible CV/DOJ's be put in?sence you could jack the body away from the suspension with out terribly effecting camber you could have a ton of cleanance under the front skidplate and rear diff.hmm food for thought.then you could run heim joints for super flex/travel:lol:

I suppose porsh 930 CV's could be adapted to fit.suspension height on our subies would rock offroad....

You can do the same with the Subaru suspension. Just have to do a little math when making the strut extension. You can only go so far up with any independent suspension before the CV's become a limiting facture and the divetrain has to come down.

I have wondered abou this too.

the reasons I was thinking though would be wheel travel, good suspension geometry through the cycle, run the widest suby axle available for the most track width and travel.

itll never get done though.

i'd rather see someone put their time into developing/addapting the hummer type hubs to work... with the gear reduction

we just need longer struts and bigger cups.

I dont know about the camber issue.

On my toyota, I went with tubular a arms )bottom and top) and the top was longer than the bottom by about 2". As far as the cv's go you could get these and adapt them. I used them on my Yote and the worked great.

 

 

 

Found here. scroll down to find them. they are pricey though.

yeah my uncle used shafts similar on his toyotas... except he got them from a standard parts store and there was nothing special about them. pretty sure you can get those for a reasonable price. I doubt it'd be all that hard to manufacture something like that either.

so is there any beef around the suspension mounts to put in twin A arms?wont happen imediatly(I have a friend with a metal fabrication shop,unfortunalty he is out of town till june...)
