Default Changing the wheel base

I have made some new longer links. Wheelbase was only 12 in center to center before, when done it should be right at 16 in.

So far I have only finished the front back links are still the short ones.
Looks like the ride hight will be better than before. It will end up around 4.5 in in the center. Now some pics.

First pic is before second is after front is done, then some flex shots.
Tell me what ya think

As soon as I get the extra cash I plan on buying some allu. clamp mounts to put the shocks on the links and I am also tossing the idea around of getting a CPE shockless

If you go with the CPE CLAW, you wont regret it, it's an awesome chassis

Looks alot better lower.Now get rid of the cantilevers and you'd be really close.
