Not to sound cocky, but unless you've studied suspension for quite a while, you're going to have a hard time trying to educate me on it. Take the time to read my post and look up some of the things I want over. I'm more than happy to listen to good points though. I think this is why I got away from domestics, too many of the owners are so closed minded that they cant ever learn something new. I thoroughly explained why independent and DeDion layouts work better for drag racing, SOLID STRAIGHT LAUNCHES and we all know that an evenly matched drag race is won or lost in the first 60ft.
Fact? NO, uninformed biased opinion.
I can show you heavy duty multi thousand HP trucks and heavy equipment that use full independent suspensions, thing is they come from Europe. And as much as Americans like to hate on Europeans, unless your ancestors lived in Teepees, chances are you're European anyway.

You should send this revalation to the Top Fuel teams that spend millions of dollars just to get a gain that is measured in ten thousandanths of a second. because i doubt a heavy equipment CV axle that weighs thousands of pounds will not hurt them at all, even i have never seen a Top fuel car break an axle because the tires cannot contain the 6000-9000HP that they are producing, through a Ford 9 inch rear end that was designed in the 60's
