Im still fairly new to this forum. I have learned alot from reading the general disscusion post on here,thanks to all by the way. Nine weeks agomy brother and i started building a buggy that i had been spending sleepless nights thinking about. Before this buggy i had a 1997 Dodge Dakota truggy that a buddy and i built . The Dakota was lmited due to various factors , which is what prompt me tp build a buggy so i can lay out frame work that wouldnt interfere with the suspension and what not. Plus,,,, they are just bad ass .Heres what i got so far , tell me what you think.

5.9 Magnum
727 Torque flite
High pinion 60 ft
14 bolt rear
ORD doubler
2 inch , Fox coil overs
43 inch tires

As of right now it has 22 inches belly height, 73 inches overall height and 8.5 inches up travel at ride height. This will change as i would like to lower it a inch or so still.
