Good morning Frank,

Looks like you are going to have a blast playing w/ that set-up!

I have a question on the artificial side to side (L to R and R to L) angle inducement, are you measuring this on LEVEL ground with both left side springs @ 0 pressure and both right side springs at max. pressure ? If so, how would the (tire) track width affect this measurement (on level ground)?

The only way to affect this would require the spring mounting points to be changed, not the track width (again, on level ground).

Wheelbase changes would affect the angles IF the spring mounting points were moved to correspond with the axle movement.

Obviously, on uneven ground, ANY width or length increase would increase overall stability (all other things being equal), but not necessarily the body angle changes in relation to the axle you've discussed.

Maybe I am not fully understanding your explanation.
