Stiffening the rear of the frame is always going to be needed, given how much bicycle parts like to flex.
I'm far removed from the subject, but [weird, twisted] logic would indicate that a tailbox that hinges coincident with the trailing arm would have minimal volume and could stiffen the suspension.

I'm thinking of a panted 4-bar double A-arm suspension. Where have I gone wrong?
