[QUOTE="nhl_bullitt, post: 600947, member: 7451"] I was in that situation last year. Only it was with firewall buggy that I already had hundreds of hours into. I was not happy with where my front axle was in relation to my engine (for weight reasons and uptravel), even though my front axle was already pushed forward 6". It really bothered me. ..And the platform I had was not kind working quarters for a 4 link up front, so I built a 3 link. Which it did a pretty good job but it was not what I wanted. There was lots of plating for strength on the frame which adds weight. Last but certainly not least is simply the cleanliness of the project. Box tube, or round tube gives you a strong, extremely clean blank slate in which to work from. Part of it is myself, not being content for too long with any offroad project. I'm always looking for the next challenge in the shop. Not everybody is like that though. I'm about sick of being in there right now for that matter. :****: [/QUOTE]
