This is built to be not a good build.
It's only for rough (very rough) dimensions and ideas about suspension.
The idea that the vehicle's suspension starts out (before the wheel leave the bump) is partially (around 30 to 40%) compressed, so the wheel can continue to touch the ground (in the dip) while the body go straight (over the dip).
This enabled these trucks to quickly skim through the surface of rough terrain (the wheels go up and down but the body remains relatively ... stable)
Other suspensions usually do not have enough standing compression.
Well you could, but simpleplanes terrain generation more likely "require" more than one suspension.
Hence two. One of those are weak, damping-absorbing spring, and the other is a stronger spring for tackling tough situations. That's what a pneumatic suspension feel like.

Since you also used two shock units stacked up, I am trying out ways to make a "soft hard suspension" like you would IRL. (such as air shocks)
It runs fine. Maybe need more horsepower, but for proof of concept this is sufficient.
I am loading this up with swingarm and double wishbone suspension...
