Mine is at like 4 feet! And that was a big improvement over stock. Looks like i need to do some grinding to my dogbones. Thanks for checking that for me. The club in town is having its first ever 1.9 comp i two weeks and Parker is our course designer so i need a rig that can turn. | |

How are those CVD's liking that steering angle ? The setup looks killer How long did you have to wait on the knuckles ? |

The CVDs seem to be holding up fine....we'll see when I get more drive time on the truck. The knuckles came in fairly quickly! I'd say about a week... |

21.5'' that's insane. I came out at 27''. Quick ?. How you starting ? Starting w/ rear or front tires. Meaning, I used a measuring tape, started at the end of the tape w/ rear tires centered w/ tape measure. Full locked one direction, kinda at a slow crawl. Ended around 27'' ish w/ front tire. This your way? This was on carpet as well.

Oh....most definitely! These tires and foams are the best I have run. So far I have tried the Blue Claws with blue foams, Chisels w/Proline memory foam, and the red dot Cobras with blue foam. Before I got the Rovers, I had good luck with the Cobras, but I think I'll stick with these Rovers.
