Looks like you had a blast. The single best thing you can do for performance right now is lower your suspension, which may require shorter tires. Narrowing the axles might also buy you enough tuck to lower even further. She's sitting very high right now, which kills your side hilling and climbing abilities. |

I have some new shocks i am in the process of putting together hoping that will help some i had my front springs ran down to far also so my front was way to stiff and the shocks out back r dead and come to find out both have bent shafts so if that fails to improve i will go to 1.7 boggers really like the look of them tires LIFE IS GOOD |

| Re: Newbie Good to hear, their parts used to be very hit and miss and usually required some finish work to get them to fit properly. Guy at comp the other day had full set of GPM Ascender goodies, shock towers, etc. in blue anodizing and he said that they have been fine. |

Did you strip it first, brake fluid, Castrol Purple Power or? First dark silver color was good.

Ah ok, I was thinking that gun-metal grey would be perfect...dang tops of the cans are rarely what it comes out like...some closer than others. |
