Wroncho skid question

My only thought with using the wraith skid is it's length. To get the wheel base right the links would need to be shorter and potentially cause binding issues plus harder driveshaft angles. If you are running a CMS though, you should be able to clock C's back up front and rotate axles, but your Diff cover will take more of a beating. Guess no one that has tried it is having an issue with that?

I'm running a NB JK so about 13" wheelbase, might be a problem in something shorter.

Thank you for sharing I have ordered the frame rails and cross members. How did you bend the frame rails, what technique can you give up?
Again thank you

I used a wraith skid then used 1/4 delrin to make cross braces and 5/16 rod for the bumpers. I have a build thread you can see how I built mine.
