|  what way is there for me to gain more ground clearance with this setup? Alright, This is how my WK sits as of now. I have bent the lower links in hopes to get more ground clearance to no avail. What I am wondering is, how can I increase my center ground clearance without buying a new chassis? This is a better picture of how the links are setup. I now have the lower links mounted on the top hole in the stays with the shocks.    |

| You can relocate the shock farther down the chassis. Like this.  It will net you about 3/4" more Ground clearance. |

| I think your only option would be to do something that will also raise your COG. That's the big killer with these chassis. I'm surprised you haven't relocated the shocks yet. That was one of the first things I had to do to stop them from binding. The stock shocks suck anyway so I'd get these: http://www.jpcustomrcs.atomicshops.c...79/4462034.htm Only 3mm longer but if you relocate everything they will work great. I shortened my springs a bit after relocating them so it's almost like a droop setup: http://www.patricksnorton.com/WK/tec...I/IMG_2753.JPG http://www.patricksnorton.com/WK/tec...I/IMG_2748.JPG Last edited by Locked Up; 12-24-2007 at 05:45 PM. |

| Use/make a better chassis yourself , the stock king chassis is pretty worthless if you want more ground clearance  And it isn't that hard to make one, just do some recearch |

| You can buy wheels that narrow the axle width. This will give you better axle clearance in some instances over the rocks. |
