i was sitting in class today and got bored really quick so i started designing parts for a custom truck im building out of lexan. i came up with a suspension idea that im not sure if it will work. the pic is below:

it is a revo rocker arm set on a pivot with a shock connecting to an a-arm and another shock connected to the chassis. the rocker sits on a post so it can pivot.
all imput both positive and negative can be posted. im new to designing parts and want the feeling of making a fully custom truck.

Thats a cantilever setup with a shock in place of the normal link. It gives more travel but is unstable at high speeds

Also, you do not need that much shock travel. If you want more travel, move your lower shock mount closer to the hingepin.
