ABSTRACT:
A lockup system for a vehicle suspension mechanism includes a frame, an axle assembly having a ground engaging wheel thereon, a radius arm pivotally connected to the frame and supporting the axle assembly and wheel, a resilient suspension device connected to the frame and one of the arm and axle assembly for cushioning oscillatory movement of the arm as the wheel traverses irregular terrain, and a lockup apparatus connected to the frame and to one of the arm and axle assembly independently of the resilient suspension device and being of a construction sufficient for maintaining a preselected length holding the arm substantially rigid or maintaining a freely telescoping length floating the arm and permitting full action of the resilient suspension device.
