4x4 Suspension Handbook (S-A Design)

The popularity of off roading and rock crawling is at an all-time high, and many people are upgrading their suspension systems for increased off-road prowess as well as for asthetic and show-quality purposes. 4x4 and off-road suspension systems can be complicated, so it's important to understand them when making modifications and upgrades. Author Trenton McGee, 4x4 suspension expert and host of Outdoor Channel's Off-Road Adventures, explains 4x4 suspension systems in an easy-to-understand manner. He gets specific on types of suspensions available from all the major manufacturers including Jeep, Toyota, Ford, Chevy, and Dodge. He goes into a great level of detail on every different model, including early and modern model systems. The book covers front and rear solid axle, twin-traction beam, and independent suspension systems, as well as coil springs, leaf springs, shocks, and more. This book has it all. If it's not covered in here, it doesn't exist. Also included is a suspension glossary of terms and a comprehensive source guide.
