I like the character Mongo in Blazing Saddles, one of my favorite movies.

Looking real good there, I like the safety orangeshould really stand out with some LEDs at night
I'm wondering why it is sitting so high at rest? Some special trick you did?
Looking forward to hearing how it crawls for you

thanks Tanis. i set mine up like this.









i am guessing that everyone else put the bottom links on top of axle and shocks lower on front of axle. i will try it like this and then change it i think. to maybe lower it 1/2" or so.

Oh, I see. Try it how you have it setup, you may just like it, testing will tell. Personally, I prefer more ground clearance on my truck, than most other people(3 5/8" under the chassis), but with a few tricks, I am able to still keep the COG down low, and my truck works very well for me. Hope your tranny and motor come in soon

Wow, that's high for a Hustler 2.2... I'm 2 1/4" at rest and 3 3/8" fully extended. On a drooper, you want the COG as low as possible.
