Independent suspensions for lowering height of vehicle frame

An independent suspension suitable for use in lowering the operational height of a vehicle frame, said suspension including:

• an upper control arm having an inner end connected to a downwardly facing portion of said frame and an outer end connected to a wheel assembly, said upper control arm being split at its inner end into two pivot arms, each of said pivot arms being bent so as to form adjacent dipper shaped areas,
• first and second connectors joining said inner end to the frame, said first and second connectors each having a hole aligned with a portion of said inner end so as to define a pivot axis fixed with respect to the frame,
• said upper control arm having a third connector joining said outer end of said upper control arm to said wheel assembly,
• said upper control arm being connected to said portion of said frame whereby the dipper shaped areas of said upper control arm receive and surround an edge of said frame during maximum upward travel of a wheel relative to said frame without said upper control arm interfering with the frame.
