Looks awesome man. When you say you used stock springs in the Integy ones do you mean the stock AX-10 springs whole in those Integy shocks or what.

How about that upper link angle? Those sucker are pointed up at the sky, everything I've learned so far has been to keep them flat or pointing down (from axle end to chassis end). What's your take on that?

Great looking rig though, I love the look of the chassis and the tire/wheel setup is sweet.

Thank you. I was referring to the stock heavy springs that came with the shocks.

Thanks man. They were pointed pretty high at first, but I have moved them down a bit since I took those pictures. I am planning on using my old lower links to make some new upper links so that I can bring them down even more and move them back as well.

That's cool, I was just wondering if you had gotten it to work well that way.

It actually worked just fine, but had a lot of axle steer...I guess that's not fine.

Wicked rig!!! Awesome job!!!

Have you tried angling your rear pinion up??? Check out the AFTER pic at the bottom of this page.
Anti Squat and Suspension Tech

More clearance and got rid of a ton of torque twist.
