oh yeah....e-locker on the front for sure, only to be used in extreme conditions. My buddy has both front & rear lockers and he says there's virtually no steering when both locked!
As for the slanted-tire thing....put the front right tire on an 18" rock...the right tire will rise up into the wheel-well while the front-left will fall out to the ground. On IFS the left tire is sitting square on the ground, while the axle'd tire is at an angle or moving towards its edge. Course, if aired down this is no big deal. It's just something someone pointed out to me once.
Crash...the spy shots of the new H3 depict rear leaf-springs instead of a coil set-up....what do you suppose is the thinking here??? Do leafs offer a smooother ride, better articulation, less costly to make???? what do you figure?????
Also...drop me an email, gotta chat with you aboput something.
