Re: pic: Don't do this. It's a bad idea.

I may be wrong, but I don't think that this will even offer the right type of suspension. From the picture it looks like there is only one universal joint on each side, meaning that the wheel can only rotate up and down, not just move up straight up and down as in a more traditional suspension. I would think that there would need to be at least 2 universal joints on each side in order to allow it to move up and down. However I do like the idea a lot.
