Not sure I really understand your question if those threads don't help???
Time to petition Inc for a new Tech section.Quote:

Triaged, the bloke on pirate whose 4 link calculator, too many people take as gospel, concedes that his antisquat calculations only apply to rear wheel drive on level ground, and doesn't factor in the effect of weight transfer to the rear when climbing or the effect of a radius arm, one link, or similar geometry front suspension pulling the front end down.
This would go some way to explain why my swb doesn't display the axle hopping characteristics that the pirate mob go on about. So I thought I would disregard some of the pirate technical BS and formulate some technical BS of my own.:)

Wouldn't 45 deg be a 100% slope?
So your gradability answer of 92% would be pretty close.
It's good to finally make the agrover connection.:angel:

For vehicle dynamics formulae, get a copy of the Chevrolet Power Catalog from a GM Goodwrench Performance Parts dealer or mail order direct from GM goodwrench in Detroit. Chapter 9 is all about suspension and steering characteristics and calculations.
To modify antisquat for obstacles, just alter the ground line. It's pretty easy to do with a graphical method.
Climbing a smooth hill and accelerating on flat land are basically the same thing. It's just a swing of the weight vector.
