Sir, you have an amazing buggy. This is something you may want to think about. The only reason I would have ever thought about this is cause the owner of a big shop pointed it out to me on a rig of mine. They fixed the problem when they redone my rear suspension. With your heims being mounted closer to the chunk on the rear lowers. It puts more strain on the heims and mounts when hitting a rock as opposed to being mounted further out(closer to the tire). It caused my heims to bend. I'm sure you will be running 1.25 heims but it may save you a headache later on. Again I love the buggy, just noticed this while lusting over your rig. Not trying to be a tech guru cause I am not one just something a real guru told me. If you want to know who told me about it pm me.

They are 1.25", I`m not worried about them. If for whatever reason they bend, you can come back and tell me I told you so :flipoff1:

If you watch any videos from the bounty hill last weekend pause it when they are flipping. Everyone of the buggies has there links are moved out close to the hubs. It has to do with the leverage.
 
Thanks for the input guys, I'm gonna crunch some numbers in the link calculator and see what I can do to move them outward without throwing the geometry outta whack. thumb.gif
