Abstract:
1. A vehicle suspension assembly, comprising: a first main beam having a first end operably coupled to a vehicle frame, and a second end having a cavity formed therein; a first extension member having an aperture extending therethrough, wherein the first extension is located within and extends outwardly from the cavity of the first main beam; a second main beam having a first end operably coupled to a vehicle frame, and a second end having a cavity formed therein; a second extension member having an aperture extending therethrough, wherein the first extension is located within and extends outwardly from the cavity of the first main beam; a torsion member having a first end with a first aperture that receives the first extension member therein, and a second end with a second aperture that receives the second extension member therein; a first threaded mechanical fastener that extends through the aperture of the first extension member and engages a first nut abutting the first main beam, thereby coupling the first end of the torsion member with the second end of the first main beam; and a second threaded mechanical fastener that extends through the aperture of the second extension member and engages a second nut abutting the second main beam, thereby coupling the second end of the torsion member with the second end of the second main beam.
