I've pretty much beat the snot out of mine, and besides of course major body damage, I've bent the leafs plenty, but just replaced or bent them back and kept beating. It's like a Timex for me, takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Your sig isn't going to have enough room soon when you update it  Edit: And for sure trim that flange around the pumpkin down, they look too big, and are a another hangup spot.

Its only about 30 minutes closer then Taylors. Along the same river (St Croix) but about 20 miles south of where we crawl. But lots of fun, rocks, dirt, sand, mud, water. |

| Nice Lift.
I really like the Flat Black look. Lee your goal is to lift the tranny up and get more center clearance. Then you can work on more leaf flex. Did you do the JIA mod found in the Highlift build tips? Make sure you ask Rikki permission to drive it. She did build it right? Ryan |
