Leaf Spring Work truck V3

Auto Credit Based on Maximum777's Leaf Spring Suspension Work Truck V1

Probably one of the best works of suspension art Ive ever built, its pretty no doubt, it doesn't handle like a rally car, its not made to drive fast, its made to be fun, its scale, features include: RWD with 4 total rear tires arranged like "duallys" all riding on a plush leaf spring suspension, it has "Pretty" functionless running lights, AG1 and then functional lights to help the driver see in the dark, AG2 and a simple dash board with a (fake) speedometer and a steering wheel that adds to the astedic of the truck as a whole making First Person driving an emersive experience especially enjoyable at night. For the suspension, well it all started a while back when I saw leaf spring as a work of engineering, thought to be impossible in SP, and very quickly discovered the truth that leaf spring suspension in this game is an experience in a half when done correctly, and I nailed it making a realistic, "work truck" per say, styled like the old work trucks that had huge fenders, big lights and, wide, great, grand front grills, only difference from the ild trucks is this ones suspension includes swaybars both front and rear, so that it auctually handles ok on road and yet can still take the abuse of off road driving, all in all its mostly a proof of concept of the suspension's capabilities, thats slowly evolved over time into the bueaty it is now so Enjoy cruising in this work of suspension art.

    V1 had even more plush suspension and I'd suggest checking it out if you find this ride to be too bumpy with the sway bars, trust me though, overall it's a better ride, handles great and it's not like it can't off road but this type suspension really shines on the V1 where it's just the leafs, no swaybars, and physics at its finest.

    Kinda funny looking back, it's came a long way .
