[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1405342, member: 15940"] Since I kept certain aspects of the chassis the same the electronics rolled right back into the chassis. Since I knew the lengths of the old links and knew exactly the change in the chassis making new lowers was a cinch to get a rough length. This time I just made straight front lowers (this came from allot of observation and watching other rigs) and made the rears not raise above the rear link mount. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-78.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-79.jpg[/IMG] Now the transition from the front diff to the rear diff is much better. One thing before you could hear the front edge of the chassis hit rocks as it went over breakovers and looking at the chassis now it should not be an issue. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-80.jpg[/IMG] One thing I still have to do is some clearancing on the front lowers. Since the chassis is pretty narrow and the links are pretty short they have only a tad of binding but not enough to stop the articulation so its minimal. I got it out on the rocks for testing and I am very happy with how it sits now and I can tell the revamp helped and now is working EXACTLY how I want it to.. I am also going to build new body plates because of the new shock location they mount near the bottom edge of it and I want more meat around that area. But I am happy and look forward to the comp this weekend. [/QUOTE]
