Car-building for Dummies?

I'll be honest, I'm 99.9% percent sure that I have no clue what I'm doing. I mean, I've got some of the nuances down, like axles for open-wheels and such. But beyond that, I need help, and I need it badly. Specifically, how the damper/suspension system works and what set ups are needed in certain scenarios. Because I'm tired of seeing my off-road vehicle fly off-course after a mere bump...

    @Cyberkirby this is a good comparison of how different spring strength and damper settings interact.

    Well, it's less of a design problem and more a "WHAT AM I DOING-" problem.

    I did put this thing up to show the fruits of my initial experimenting with the new wheels, but I'm mainly just confused about the damper/suspension settings.
