for crawling, i'd relocate the lower links to the top side of the knuckle c, for getter clearance and link angle.

No and yes, he need better rubber, doesnt have to be Moabs xl's.
i never metioned the tires even.
I said it because is sits very high, short wheelbase and etc:roll:

Its proven that these wont work good for crawlers;-)

but who knows if that's his ride height? these things are adjustable. and his wheelbase is by no means short.

Nothing wrong with being a 14r but than it would be waybetter if had some maxx sized tires on it, Maxx mashers, badlands etc
;-)

Im not flaming, so stop defending him:roll:

well to answer all your question
 
the truck has 3.375 ground clearance
tires work great with 900s
went with narrowed imex claws for comps. was runnin a 16.8 EVX-2 but wanna sell for brushless now, and yes the chassis is fully adjustable. not bad for a guy who was shot three time and has more metal in his body from war huh
