i beam suspension vs. others
is twin i beam suspension more rugged then other types of suspensions? i've seen quite a few races where a lot of the rangers are the older models with twin i beam suspension. i was just wondering why they'd take that over one of the later model rangers...

I-beams = cheaper travel in a greater amount. I-beams allow more combinations of a triple shock front end, and sometimes smoother cycling of the suspension than that of arms. Beams have more body roll, while arms have less. Arms take a lot more money and a lot more work to get the gains that come easier from beams.

Dirty Hooker vs. Clean Hooker
i beams- like a dirty hooker, doesn't cost as much, you get more out of her, but she ain't that clean.
a arms- very nice hooker, costs a lot of money, don't get as much out of her, but is very clean
