That's some wild angle. I'm interested to see how the second joint works. Does it move independently?

That is allot of angle but isnt that recessed part on the lca still going to cause you to go wildly overcentered still? Wouldnt there need to be bump stops added in place?

I think it would be good information for them to let us know what they estimate what effective back spacing we would need for our wheels. Im thinking something at least in the 4" all the way to the 3.75" range in order to clear the frame rail.

All of that can be worked on and figured out though, we all know that adding angle in creates tons more rubs to work with.

The cool thing is if its an australian company, our $ is worth more than theirs so its usually a pretty good deal to import things from them.
