Re: Best Form Of Six Wheel Drive?

One of the reasons that I do not personally like about 6 wheel drives with a lowered center wheel is that I am afraid of the rocking back and forth. I assume that if you make the amout that the wheels are lowered minimal (1/8") then it would rock very little. I was just hoping to achieve the ability to spin in a dime.
