Default Re: Flathead project

Depending on how flat/level a surface you are planning on driving on that type of setup can cause you some problems. Because the rear axle is rigged and can not flex, any rotation (side to side) about the centerline will be resisted by the ladder bars. In order to work properly they would have to rotate at a common point similar to the original ball arrangement. This is the same problem that exist with the tubular front axles and hairpin radius rods.
