Patent ID: 8267414

Claim:
A suspension assembly structured to facilitate a selective variance in a height and corresponding center of gravity of a vehicle when operatively connected thereto, said suspension assembly comprising: at least one suspension arm including a suspension joint disposed on one end of said suspension arm, said suspension joint disposed and structured to extend through said one end in outwardly extending relation thereto, said suspension joint comprising at least two bushing members each formed of a resilient, compressible material and at least two retaining assemblies, each of said two retaining assemblies disposed in retaining relation to a different one of said two bushing members on opposite sides of said one end, each of said two bushing members cooperatively disposed with said suspension arm to facilitate concurrent compression of said two bushing members upon movement of said suspension arm relative to said suspension joint in a substantially transverse direction relative to said two bushing members, said suspension arm and said suspension joint connectable to the vehicle in one of a plurality of operative orientations, wherein said operative orientation at least partially defines the vehicle height, and said suspension arm and said suspension joint are attachable to the vehicle in either of two oppositely inverted operative orientations, each of said two operative orientations defining a different vehicle height.
