    When I was growing up my grandparents gave me a subscription to "National Geographic", in one of the issues there was a picture of the natives in Africa rubbing cow shit in their hair to attract green flies which they pretended were green jewels. Whenever I see someone building a vehicle that can "lay frame", I think of cow shit and green flies.

    Wow, thank you for that valuable insight. I must say, you remind me of the ladies in the neighborhood HOA, too much time on their hands and little to no actual productive contributions. They just have an itch to scratch I guess.

    I'm not done yet: Building a vehicle that can "lay frame" is like having a third testicle, I guess it's something to brag about but I don't see what good it's going to do you.

    You would need to understand that this suspension system had asymmetric axle movement.

    The passenger side of the rear axle is constrained in movement.

    It could make for uneven handling, and possibly tire strike on the wheelhouses, should you not choose your axle width, wheel size, and tire size very carefully.

    They could have easily avoided this with four parallel links, and a Panhard bar.

    Doesn't Morrison claim no floor modification?

    Well, you confirmed my assumptions. It certainly is a good thing that not everyone shares your fragile taste, it would be a very boring world if we did. Have a great day!

    For the original frame? The only 4-link that I see from Morrison involves their own chassis.
