 One recommendation though, mount your lower links in the skid plate mount sleeve at the bottom corner. That is how the chassis was designed to work. This way it's a smooth transition for rocks sliding from the front links to the skid and to the rear links, and also a lot stronger. With both sets of links mounted up on the tabs it's going to hang up link crazy. Like this,  | |

Yes, you can build it up with same length shocks front and rear for all of the available axles for the people wondering. Axles such as the T-Rex 60's have multiple mounting locations that enable you to mount the shocks in different positions therefore using different length shocks if you choose. The chassis is set up to pretty much allow you to do anything and everything you want and still perform great. I've had the chassis set up with almost every axle on the market with both full droop and full sprung suspensions and multiple different wheels bases. They all worked great due to the amount of adjustment built into the chassis. | |

Wrecker First off love the chassis and thanks for getting it out there. I have one on order now and had a couple of questions about it. I will be installing it on Ax-10 axles and using the stock Axial link ends. What length links are used on the red truck pictured on the add. They look like the stock upper links both top and bottom. If you could let me know I can get some coming. The other question is what material is used to make the chassis as I would like to add a plate in the front to add a winch mount and want to tig weld it. |

As far as the winch mounting goes, I have a super simple design and mount that anybody can make to mount the winch up front and have it lined up perfectly for the winch on the body. You'll have to wait till I get my chassis to see the mount though. I decided to not have a permanent mount for a winch in the chassis because everybody likes to set up their electronics and such different and I didn't want to limit peoples options, but I still left plenty of places to easily mount everything, so don't worry. | ||

Got some nice photos of the 1.9 prototype that TREE built. I'm really happy with how this chassis looks in both 2.2 and 1.9. As you can see Winston has gone for a total scale look using interior seats and attaching gauges and a steering wheel to the dash panel. Funtional winch as well with a hawse fairlead.     |
