Very nice, I like that a lot. It looks like the rear axle it tipped back a bit from stock. I have done the Ti lower links on a stock chassis, waiting to do the upper's when I get VP upper link mounts. I was thinking of putting in a longer upper link in the rear for the same effect. My question, have you noticed any negative effect's having the rear axle tipped up like that.

I had to drop the motor back down because the rod ends were hitting the motor. One day I'll get ambitious and remake the rear uppers. so I can clock the motor up a bit.

I made these rear lock out weights a few weeks back. They are made of brass and held in place by a single set screw.
I was running 1 oz. of stick on lead per lock out.
These weigh 1.4 oz each. I was shooting for 1 oz each
They turned out to be a little heavier than I wanted but I've been running them anyways and they seem to be working fine.

Well the extra 1/2 once per side hasn't had any I'll effects.
So far I'm pretty happy with the truck.
