A Arm suspension design

[Doubleggregg]

Anyone dable in suspension design? I have some questions about what it would take to design suspension using parts I have drawings for and machined up already and also some lower control arms I have for an S10 chassis.

Wanting to get a kit designed using parts I have.

The “correct way is to start at the wheel/spindle and work your way in, more or less. Wheel offset and tire size will determine spindle kpi. Are you good at 3d cad stuff or you need that done around parts you have?

I do not have any needs, i just want to have something usable using at a minimum the upper spindle pin and the lower clevis. the lower arms are what ever if it was easier to design doing something different.

What really matters to me is having the budget to pay someone i trust or who comes with a recommendation i trust to work on the project knowing I do not need it tomorrow so if it was something that was worked on over the next 6 months that would be what really interested me.

Im willing to discuss what i am thinking i just also dont like wasting peoples real time. I will say watching the pow wow motorsports stuff the last couple weeks brings me back to RoR days and having a 20 year old and a 10 year old id love to figure out my S10 shit i have and build a fun play truck around it for us to rip around / race at some venue like that or to just be a fun Ocotillo Wells toy.

Do it the old school way: Mount the lower arm and up right then tack an upper (dummy) arm together and start cycling it to see what the camber looks good. Move the upper pivots around until it cycles right and burn it in. Work out steering, shocks and the dress up parts. Quick way to get it on a truck

ive thought about this way more than i should have over the last 15 years. Just have not done it. need to get my one 4runner out of the way you saw at the house scrapped out then this might be what ends up happening.
