Shock towers as chassis plates? Looks good but I'd drop it down a few feet, haha. Have any plans for a skidplate?

So, CK... you have the tallest CC, and looks like I have the lowest... I'm just a hair under and inch on my belly... i think the axles may have more clearance. But that's ok... took it out on the rock pile, and having the bent lower links on there acted like little ramps... truck just rode the rocks up the links when needed, the only hang-ups I got was on the screws for the upper links, so I need a plate or something there to smooth that area out.

i had the same issue when i put 108mm threaded shocks & springs on my rig. lots of test & tune sessions (all very fun, yet educational) finally got it to work. in fact im having so much fun with it at the local indoor course out here, once i get my 2nd fxr, i'll enter it in the next local comp. she can crawl up most of the stuff comp rigs can, now

Red rock rings look good with the body. Creeper wheels/tires correct?

That thing is sick for a cc . I dont think its tall , it just has good clearance By the way , love the use of the shock towers . Never would have thought of that .

You could run angle aluminum along the top of the shock towers for some quick extended shock mounts that would allow use of shorter shocks.
