ive noticed my tires are wearing too fast in the back
i have access to a cad program called solid edge. this semester im probably going to design the rear suspension of the dodge, and start designing something new and effecient.
i was thinking of going with a 4 link, or ladder bars.
which do you guys think would be stronger. keep in mind i want to retain stock ride height and use leafs still.
i was looking at a friends jeep grand cherokee and like how they did the 4 link in the back. might base my design off that one.

Re: rear suspension ideas
so while in class i came up with a design that will still able my ride to be smooth and strengthen the rear a ton.
once i design it in the software i will share pictures but its going to consist of 2 bars, they will be on bushing that pivot up and down for suspension travel, but will allow for NO travel forwards or backwards of the axle. one will be on each side of the axle and connect to the frame, possibly on the crossmember. anyone have any input on this? i know its hard to explain in text but i just havent had time to start designing yet. ill keep u guys posted.
