Didn't have much time to take it anywhere today, plus we didn't want to drive it a lot with unbalanced drivelines. But we did manage to flex the front up a little.


















We cut the frame and reinforced where we cut it... and it looks like it worked out well!  :o



Will get the write up on the site soon when I get some time, been busy.

 ;D

we will probably put longer shackles on the back or go with a shorter shock... the shocks are behaving like bumpstops in the back.

You'll be best to go with a shackle. From the pics, it looks like the shackle is completely angled out, whereas the springs isn't flat from being convex. In comparison, your front springs look great for the movement. The shackle angles out whereas the spring flattens, then concaves. Perfect for it's function.

As for the rear shocks, isn't there enough room to do an angled inward setup, similar for a Sami?

You also forgot to add, that the front sway bar was still attached. Take a look at those bushings in action.....

 We are kicking around  the idea about the sammy inward angled shocks. Not quite sure yet.
Then again, the shocks being setup like the toys, would be a good idea.

The Kick looks great!  :o Very nice flex.... one question: now that you've been through this, would you do it again (excluding the OTT additions)? Or, maybe wait for the Calmini kit?  I suppose the answer would partially depend on how much $$$ you have invested.
Congats on getting it done, I'm sure you're gonna have a blast at Moab.
