Nice work. One observation I have regards the front shock bell cranks. I wonder if the large angular change in direction coupled with the quite short lever arm might result in some unwanted high forces about the pivot point. Don't sacrifice strength here, and make sure everything is a good fit to help prevent any kind of motion 'lock out' that might occur through misalignments etc. A larger input lever arm would help perhaps.

The cranks on the Pred take quite a hammering because you have a large force leverage at that point.

Keep going, it looks interesting.
