In fairness, however, the pic doesn't show enough of the upper wheel wells for an accurate assessment of wheel travel and the fact that the frame rail is apparently parallel to the ground does indeed imply a good stiff chassis.

I stubbornly maintain, though, that while the rear halfshaft is showing a little bit of droop, my subjective impression from looking at the photo is that there appears to be a definite, distinct and disturbing dearth of rear suspension articulation.
