Lew,

this is just my thought, I have no facts or testing to say one way or the other although some hard core test data would be nice. It is simply what seems reasonable to me

In my opinion, when considering the front suspension of a factory frame, factory a arm style set up a small amount of deflection or cushion may be beneficial. It might give just enough cushion to smooth out a landing and not upset the rear suspension.

And of course I completely understand the importance of shocks and also understand that shock control is primary.

I have a go to chassis and shock friend I will pose this idea to him and will post his thoughts.
