Got a bunch done this weekend... Got the rear end almost done.. Shocks are in, but had to redo some of the tubing.. But I think I like alot better! I was finally able to figure out how to put a "X" in behind the seats..
It was a lot tighter of a fit than I thought it was gona be.. But it all cleared... Barely!

LIKE I SAID IT WAS A TIGHT FIT...

When you put 'real' tires on, they're going to rub bad.

edit... and that creates a problem. At first I thought you could move the axle brackets inboard a few inches to clear the tire from rubbing on the shock body, but that creates a bind with the tube work on the opposite side. Wow. This looks tough. You could always run way offset wheels.

Looks really good:awesomework:---but yeah, you sure cut it close (or at least it looks that way, when articulated that way, the opposite shock looks really close...:yikes:
