if so what would you recommend for a complimentary front....?
i am thinking 2.5 spindles with either 1 or 2 inch springs ?

appreciate it.

any chance you have pic of your bag/trailering set up. sure would love to see it. i assume you have the shock brackets to readjust shock angle !
thanks
Sorry... I thought I responded before. The 4" drop is probable; the 3" is most likely the minimum. For the front, I did 2.5 or 3" spindles & then cut 1-coil from the original springs for about 5" of drop.

I'll post up some pics later tonight (they're on my home computer).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
