So what else did you do to it?

A stretched wheelbase doesn't give you that much flex

Where did you get the spare tire.

Oh, and nice rig!

He has better rear shocks, he cut off one of the tabs, and put it on the chassis by one tab, and made the lower shock bottom longer so it could go through the upper shaft and out the top, very brilliant!

Props to you on the rear shock mod!! Do you get alot of rear axle hop with that setup?? I replaced mine when I did my 4link because of the hop.

Yep! I modified the shocks a bunch, and put some screws in there so they'd extend further. That's why I can't have that rear deck on there. I could make it work with some cutting, but I kinda like it without.
I think I'm going to try something else this weekend, they work good but they like to catch and stick.

I don't get any axle hop either. The shocks are all mounted in their stock location, the backs just moved to the front of the axle.

I have a ton of spare parts from a friend, so thats where I got the spare tire.

Version 2.0 is coming this weekend. I'll make up a quick write-up for you guys. What I have now works pretty good, but it likes to stick up on the threads on the screws I put in there. I've got myself a pretty good idea though, we'll see if it works come this weekend.
