New long travel front suspension idea?????
 
Just a thought that popped into my head the other day. Has anyone tried fabbing a front suspension similar to that of the rear of a motocross bike? It seems logical to me. Bikes get crazy long rear wheel travel with very little shock travel. Could this same design be workable on the front of a buggy?

Not such a new idea after all. It's called "cantilever" only the shocks are not mounted vertically but horizontally in several different configurations. Anyone ever try this? If so, how well did it work? Does anyone have any input on this at all?
