I have limited the flex at the moment but will extend soon , i will let it seat in first
got some issues with the spring rates but i can sort those out over time

Good to see you have it done. How did it ride off road? Or was that the 'spring rate issue' tou spoke of?

Hi again . Zig . The suspension needs harding up a bit as way to soft but may be down to the front shocks,  have some others to use and mount them a bit lower as more flex required.
Rear needs lifting some more.

I would say the drive line feel stronger and there for a give it more :-)
but here are some action shots from yesterday

Looks like ya had some fun ;)

What did you do to correct the track width issue between the rear sidekick axle and front sammy axle? Put on some wheel spacers, or just run it as-is?

Yeah put the wheel spacers on ,  1/2 difference between the front and rear,   acceptable

how thick of a spacer are you using to make up the difference?
