Here comes the Shafty revolution!!!!

Thanks to Bender for making a versatile, awesome chassis!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking after we spoke ealier. I think that 15" is about the max you will be able to go or your shocks wont mount where your going to want them to. They will be at to much of an angle. May save you on making 3 sets of links!

Definately a cool looking ride.

Thanks EeePee! It would'nt matter so much about the chassis . Just states TXT, CLOD, or MAX axles!

Well got it out today and did some testing. Not to much tweeking to do, it worked out better then expected. Crawled right up the hardest obstical without having to bump it like I normally do with my other rigs. I do however have to find some softer springs, these are way to stiff. Here's some action pics from the Westin! O, I wish that I would have painted the body before the plastic wraping got all tore up

[Sparky J]

Here's a few more!!

Exactly!! This chassis bolts right up to the txt as well as the tlt axles and it would be hard to tell the differance otherwise. BIG props to BENDER on this one, It looks so blingy I did'nt want to drive it.

Yup. You are right. I have my longer links with mounting points for the shock, on the links themselves, like a clod set up. If I go to 16 inches, I should be ok with this set up.......only some trial and error will tell. But I have to do the wider skid plate before I can get her going. I'm hoping that "my best friend, Fred", will hook me up. Fred?

I noticed that.
I was walking down the street and I saw him at Starbucks, sipping on a GingerBread latte. I yelled, "Hey Fred...what up man?" He said, "Excuse me sir, do I know you?" then he turned around and kept talking to his high falootin friends that were wearing ties and overcoats. What a dick!

Those were two of them for sure. I think Donald Trump, Jason and Badger were there as well.
