    I would say one of the main things to watch is to get the pivot points as close to the same plane as the 4 link pivot points so you don't get binding as the suspension moves. Mine with the shocks removed moves smooth beyond the travel points of the suspension with the shocks in place.

    You need to click the "go advanced" radio button below the box you're typing in to get those.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
