you'll want to steepen them forks up a lot... they will not steer well, and the suspension will not soften your ride, only compress when presented with a front load!
typical MTB front steering angle is 67-69 degrees, btw...
and exactly how are you gonna steer that beast?
i'll assume you've lost use of your legs... ever considered a front drive trike? use a fat tire fork, and attach the gears to the front? i've seen lots of recumbents set up that way... they sync the crank arms, then they can steer, too! the rear wheels can then be cambered out at the bottom for increased stability, too!
only one der. and cassette needed then, too... use front wheels on the back.... disc brakes on both "back" wheels, link them like i described for the twin ders. we discussed...
