| I extended the wheelbase on mine. (About 3/4") Not sure if it helps though. I didnt notice much difference. What I gained in length for uphill stability I lost a little in ground clearance at the belly the way I figured it. I just shaved the belly on it, and cut about 1.5" off but havent drove it yet. |

| you can move the blue wishbone back by shifting the three screw holes out. You unscrew where it is screwed in by three screws....then trim it slightly and screw it back in with just the outter two screw holes. I have done this on the back and am going to do it on the front soon. |

| Just the difference between the one screw and another. It looks to be about a half an inch. It took all of 15 minutes to do. You might have to build some spacers to move the shocks out, I built something that move the mounts in and spaced them backwards to compensate. It was pretty easy. |

THe shocks still work in the original location, just had to trim the front bumper a little on both corners under the body because the springs rubbed on it but everything works great. Now am waiting to get my new front axle so I can see how it does on the trail. but driving it around in two wheel drive it does fine. |
