You have to look at where the "applied load" will
be.. a drag car its simple.. but on a road race
car its a different applied load.. so number one
thing is to figure out what will the car be used
for.. then work from there.. I set my Rampage up
as a drag/street car but with the drag race part
as the primary.. so I put the shocks in vertical
and it also has ladder bars with a diagonal link
so it doesnt like to go around corners but it does
it fine.. with ladder bars the rear end doesnt like
to twist in the chassis(very rigid) but works great
in a forward motion
