Looking good man!8) Looks like your missing something swaybarish in the rear;-)

Maybe someday...... "thumbsup"

Just out of curiosity. What holds you back from running the sway bar?

I guess, I really don't understand the benefits of running one...

It should help with the rear unloading on steep sidehills keeping it more planted, at least I think that's what it will do. I'll be using one as soon as it gets here so I'll let you know exactly what it does."thumbsup"

Rig looks good, as do ur tire's(to me).. a softer set of foams and the warn carcus's should hook just as good..

Looks good man! Excited to run with you again soon.

I'll be looking forward to hearing about your results. Almost every time I have a rear tire left while I'm slowing down going downhill. I've added spacers between upper shock mount, this helped some..
I wonder if the sway bar will correct the this?

I run the same setup in my BC's, minus the CC front.. they weren't out at the time.. tho, I have ran enough packs thru them to get the tires dam near bald and the inner foam is more like pretzel dough in shape and super beat down and soft.

"medium in rear & some old red dot rovers" ???? What/where do/are the red dot rovers?

Sway bar mount is installed so when I decide to run the D-lux Sway bar kit I'll be ready to go.
Easy installation, all I needed to do was shorten my cross braces (3 total)."thumbsup"

 

[TSK]

I do stalled my brackets the easy way. I just shoved them in between the cross braces and the main plates and added a washer to take up the gap in the most forward of the rear braces. Lol

 

[tapped-out]

If I did that, it would bug me knowing it Wasn't a perfect fit.

I have it perfectly wedged in there! Hahaha

I dig that ur using a Bwd rear link mount. As I haven't looked at any of the other SP builds to set marzzz23's rig up.. I'm also using the Bwd link mount on his and the only diff is I'm a hole down at the chassis.. now for the electronics and I can't wait to hit the rocks with his SP!

 

[TSK]

From all the videos Inge seen recently of Matt's rig, it looks pretty dialed so following his lead on setup should be a pretty safe bet.

 

[winnerone23]

I've been watching a few of his video's, I like it!

Literally, the only thing different right now is all the uppers are one hole lower at the chassis..

I'll watch some more video for sure, keep it coming Matt

 

[tapped-out]

So I've notice that one of my rear tires always lifts of the ground on side hills and going down a hill to a gate causing rig to flip over. I picked up the D-lux Universal sway bar kit and mounted it up on my SP rig.
I'm hoping the sway bar will eliminate the tire from lifting... below is more info on the sway bar kit from D-lux. Erik did a really nice job on this sway bar kit, installation was very simple. any info needed to install is in link below.
