2005 SD Front Suspension
What do you guys think of the new Coil/Monobeam Suspension. You can see it here, http://www.fordvehicles.com/2005supe...lity/index.asp

I think it looks pretty sweet- I have often thought about trying a radius arm setup with the bushings in that configuration but was afraid of doing all of that work just to find out it wouldnt work worth a damn. I would imagine Ford did lots of testing on it and decided it was a good setup.

I'm wonder if it is really any less tough though. We still have a solid front axle and the radius arms look massive. From a performace stand point it should be much easier to tune, just changes springs to change spring rate. Lifting it might be harder, but don't monster trucks use this same type of setup?
Of course on paper anthing can look good.
