Suspension info?

[foreman1063]

Got two upcoming XJ builds and I'm looking for a good suspension reference book. Need something that covers long arm geometry, with theory and practical application. I've been able to pick up bits and pieces of info on different forums but I'd like to have a good book to refer to. Any such book around? Thanks

Not really, most of the current written info is all based around road racing. Most of the theories apply but there is something thinking involved. Search and read is probably your best bet.

Ditto.

Existing books are from racing, where the term "long arm" doesn't exist. There are no books, yet, on setting up suspesnions for rock crawlers. There is PLENTY of info on this forum and on Pirate.

You can find all the info you need online. No need to buy a book. There way more info online.

The book always makes good reading material when your on the crapper though.

Yep. He's said that there will be a second printing coming soon with a few extra items that didnt make it in the first batch. Its a great book with various setup pics and specs
