Yes, that is impressive.  Some of my favorite snippets

We were able to get 15 inches of travel per wheel while getting very minimal camber change.

By adjusting the weight jacks, I can change ride height by 12 inches
So when are you coming out with a kit  ;D

Are you still running the stock (Steel GV) suzki third member?  What I am wondering is if you have found the 7.5" R&P/diff to be a weak link in the front once it is upgraded to steel and using custom CV's?

Their are 4 RPM members running a 7.5 front diff. None of us have never broken a 7.5 in the front of a tracker. Cvs are the weak link but that is partially by design. CVs are the fastest and cheapest thing to change on my rigs. I have only been trail riding once in the orange rig since the build and I havent broke anything yet. However I suspect the cvs will still be my weak link.

So to start this project form scratch, you would need the calmini lift and then heavly modify it from there.  What size are those tires.  I saw the over the bucket picture, that is very impressive, but the back diff would hit it right?  Just make a IRS to match the front then it would clear just fine. ;D
Is the 7.5 front diff the steel gv?
Great project! I could only dream if somthing like that some day.
