1. A suspension assembly system comprising: at least two support arms including a first support arm, a second support arm, a linkage and a pivoting bracket wherein the first support arm is configured to couple the linkage from a second support arm to a connection point on the pivoting bracket and the pivoting bracket is connected to the second support arm, not anchored to a reference frame, connecting a shock absorbing assembly to chassis attachment locations and a ground tracking instrument, such that the pivoting bracket provides an angular connection between the support arms and the shock absorbing assembly allowing movement of the support arms, whether of varying length or in noncontiguous pieces functioning dependently, actuating an extension of the shock absorbing assembly, at the connection to the pivoting bracket, to utilize the angular rotation of the pivoting bracket to create a new path line for a shock mount to move independent from a fixed point of the first or second support arm, and the linkage creating a change in the mechanical motion ratio of the shock absorber.
