looks good! You gonna use any type of limiting strap with that?
thanks for saving me the wasted efforts!!! i love to climb stuff....Originally posted by desertoy:
<STRONG>Do yourself a favor. Make a u-bolt to clamp the buggy spring to the frame in the rear where the shackle is. When you get to a rock waterfall and you can't climb it because your rearend starts to bounce because the buggy spring is absorbing all of the energy generated by the t-case instead of transfering it to the tires, clamp the buggy spring to the fram so you will climb right up. That way guys like me will not have to wait behind you all day because you can't climb anything <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
I did the EXACT conversion you are doing, 2 years ago. I even installed torque arms to center the rearend. After a year of Fu$king around with em, I $hit canned them and was able to climb again.</STRONG>
Why did you have to center the rear? Were the springs twisting to the sides? Do you think a traction bar w/front shackle would help or shock placement? How about a simple 3 link setup? Was it mostly wheel hop due to the buggies blowing you off the verts? ThanksOriginally posted by desertoy:

I centered the rear because I was worried about side to side stability. I never tried it without.Originally posted by BrianR:
