Congrats on the baby,James:beer:

Also....an FYI....My 2" King struts had ZERO in the way of a top out "bumper"....no spring,elastomer,air chamber....nothing....so they top out with a BANG You may have noticed the limit straps on each corner of my car(2 per corner in the front) thats a direct response to the shocks trying to self destruct on top out. Your shocks look like 2.5" and are several years newer than my 2" so perhaps they have changed the design. HTH:beer:

EDIT: My straps catch the suspension ~ an inch before full extension then stretch to almost full droop. The shocks never see FULL travel to avoid harsh top out

Thanks for the heads up. They don't feel like they have any top out protection.:beer:

Straight up 'sexy time'

James, I've been up in Canada with Wayne and your previous rig several weekends now and all I gotta say is you build incredible cars that work very well and look REALLY good doin' it.

In case you haven't seen it, I captured your previous rig a few times up north on the Mustard Tiger trail as seen in my "feature film" http://vimeo.com/15089976
