its just the template i saw here. I copied it and cut it out and mounted it, The servo mount isnt perfect but i am gonna make another, I think i like the over the pumpkin design better. mine is off to the right. just like many others here. I just moved my shocks and now i will remount the servo and get a pic....

And yes the wideners help alot. Definatly alot more stable, and doesnt flip nearly as easy. I havent ran them with these tires yet but i did with my moabs and hardly flipped it. It now has a 11 inch wide foot path so not sure if its comp legal, i am not going that route so they are perfect for what i need...

I've done mine both ways and I think that over the pumpkin is the best for me. Just make sure you have room to clear the chassis at full droop.

Nice truck, do you have any pictures of how the bottom links mount to the frame? I am trying to figure out how the ST rc kit mounts.
