I love how this has progress from you playing with shock mounting locations to building your own suspension. Great job I can't wait to see the finished project.

Yeah wider axles would have helped a ton... Also having a better track bar set up or even better yet full hydro and single triangulated would have made it alot easier lol.

Were your rears outboard? It looks like a nightmare... I didnt start mine yet but plan to very soon. I was debating going thru the tub to keep it simple but would love to outboard. I may have to scroll your build thread again to see how you did them. I know somewhere i saw how dirt rebuilt his frame, thatd be an option to but im struggling to find that pic again lol cant remember what forum i saw it on..

If you look up the Carolina truggies build on here there are some good pics of how they modded the frame in the rear.
