Post your side shot videos going over speed bumps at 15mph

Don't forget to take tire pressure into the equation as well as make of tires as some are stiffer than others.
Interesting idea. Don’t forget to also control for differences in weight.
Love the caminos,party in the front and business in the back.

I hit a speed bump tonight at 15 mph I think that’s the right speed, I don’t really want to hit it any harder lol. Need to dial the compression down on the rears. I could tell the rear is stiffer than front. But I think I might want rear stiffer than front so there isn’t a bunch of weight shift from the from the front impact onto the rear.
The speed bumps themselves vary in height and angle as they are designed specific to the speed desired by the property owner.

I've read, but not confirmed myself, that TTBs are the best choice for high speed desert driving (whoops, etc). However, the design would be a tradeoff vs solid axles for crawling, correct? TTBs have less, lopsided articulation, tricky to set camber over about 2" of lift, and less ground clearance.
Damn, throwback to my Full Size Bronco.
It's kind of halfway to IFS. Although $$$$ I'm sure high-end IFS setups have gotten better than TTB in the rocks, and they are definitely superior in the go fast.

As it is I would say that shows very little of how damped your suspension is? It’s slow speed articulating. Now if you remake that video hitting it at 15mph straight on, that would do!!
That does no good. He is asking about shocks (tuning) at speed.
Its some dollars to do it right, but its fun watching the $500 TTB Fords run through the wringer at Silver Lake. I am slowly working on a design for a TTB in a TJ/LJ. Its purely CAD drawings now, but the models get more and more serious eventually it will happen and its feasible. There are a few TTB Jeeps out there.
TTB is still IFS. But TTB are an easy way to get suspension travel. On my design with a 12in shock, it will end up with nearly 18-20in of wheel travel. Compared to a double A-arm, its also way simpler. It has drawbacks compared to an A-arm setup, like camber cannot be controlled or tuned beyond where it is initially set.
