Be careful with the center of gravity here. If your springs are pushing up on the front of your chassis, and most of the weight is in the back, your gonna have some difficult tipping problems. Consider making triangular support for the springs near to the front of the chassis, instead of all the way in the back.
I <3 the idea! keep it coming!
Thanks a lot for the support guys.

Also some reference should be made to 418 for this simple design that we hope to tweak.
