The variable ratio floating suspension system ( 10 ) includes upper ( 30 ) and lower ( 40 ) leverage arms with a shock-absorbing component ( 50 ) connecting the leverage arms ( 30, 40 ). In the preferred embodiment, the leverage arms ( 30, 40 ) and shock-absorbing component ( 50 ) pivotally connect a vehicle chassis to a vehicle wheel spindle ( 26 ). As the vehicle moves over uneven terrain, the configuration of the variable ratio floating suspension system ( 10 ) isolates vibrations and other unwanted forces in the shock-absorbing component ( 50 ) so that these forces are not transferred to the associated vehicle chassis.
