    4-Point Pivoting Subframe Design

    Whoa, it just came to me, lol. They allow the subframe to twist. I was under the impression the subframe wouldn't twist at all.

    4-Point Pivoting Subframe Design

    I'm not doing a 3 or 4-point. I'm doing a spring-mounted setup on my 2024 Chevy 4500 LCF (NPR-HD). Just something I'm curious about.

    2024 Chevy 4500 LCF Build

    2024 Chevy 4500 LCF Build

    In March of 2024 I picked up a 2024 Chevy 4500 LCF crew cab, auto, 6.6L V8 gas, 176" wheelbase, 4x2, from Lincoln, NE. I drove it back to Denver with my 10 year-old son. Eventual goal is a 4x4 conversion, long-arm air suspension, and a foam-panel camper. Here it is shortly after bringing it...

    EarthCruiser Closing Doors

    I'm guessing their CORE division is affected by this as well? They're not separate entities?
