I think the upper tube section is sweet...nice job. Only thing that stands out to me is that lower plate section that the links mount to seems really low and in the way. Why did you end up going this route instead of just building that lower section into the tuber?

After new Moab XL'S were installed, the belly of the rig is about 3-4 inches from the ground. We compete in comps and these rigs do well.

My buddy already had the chassis, so I built a body. I have built 1 all steel tube chassis. It came out cool, but a little on the heavy side. So I have been stick'n with aluminum for the chassis.

The chassis and bodies I build are strong, balanced, service friendly and somewhat scale for a Clod super.
