Abstract

A slider assembly provides a connection between a vehicle body and a vehicle suspension. The slider assembly includes a frame and a locking mechanism attached to the frame. The locking mechanism s a locking pin that is connected to an extension spring, a pivot arm that is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, and a compression spring that is connecting the pivot arm and the locking pin. When the pivot arm is in the locked position, the compression spring does not exert a bias on the locking pin and the extension spring exerts a bias on the locking pin so as to bias the locking pin into engagement with the vehicle body so as to secure together the vehicle body and the vehicle suspension. When the pivot arm is in the unlocked position, the compression spring exerts a bias on the locking pin that overcomes the bias of the extension spring on the locking pin thereby biasing the locking pin out of engagement with the vehicle body so that the vehicle body is slidable with respect to the vehicle suspension.
