Sorry the pic is a little small.
Step 1: Turn axle 3/4 of the way up, Drill hole through axle housing
Step 2: Cut a pen run through the hole
Step 3: Run a long bolt through the pen and hook everything back up.
Step 4: Don't tighten the lock nut to tight. It will limit travel.

Doing it this will give you more clearance the flipping it, and you don't have to reverse your tires, cut wires , just make sure you don't drill through the motor, gears, wires and etc..............The rest you should be able to figure out.........

I rotated mine 90* so that i ended up like this...flex is crazy and never get hung up...still trying to find a way to flip the front axle somehow.

move the front shock mounts together by just drilling two new holes. I did that on the front of mine and the tires will droop and tuck more than before.

Notice how triangulated my front shocks are this these pictures and then in the last pic you can see where I drilled new shock mount holes more centered for the rear...but then realized that running the rear shocks closer together more parallel they flexed better...i had to move them outboard more in order to keep the tires out of the body.

Hey Skerb can you tell me how you made your rear shock mounts? I would like to know, so that I can do something like that. i like how you did that. I want mine to flex out more than it does. Also maybe someone can help me with doing at tummy tuke. I figured everything else out and I can just not figure this thing out.
