Frames and suspension loads
Frames and suspension loads
(OP)
Think double wishbone suspension with the springs and shocks mounted to the lower control arms. That means most of the suspension loads will be going through the lower control arm right? Does it make sense to have the frame rail stay low and go to the lower control arm mounts and then have a crossmember for the upper control arms? I think it would be stronger and stiffer, but want profensional input as well.

As ever the devil is in the details, either can be made to work, either can be made to misbehave.
