have to say though that you might have problems with other stuff like the alighnment and the wheels rubbing the fenders , the specialized stuff often use different non factory steering geometrics so you can still drive somewat normaly when the air is almost out of the bags and be able to make a corner
you could even use leafsprings in the back as the linkage with helperbags if you take more then a few leafs out of them , prolly need to add calltracks to keep the leaf from winding up though
Oh yeah. I know. I am aware of what needs to be done to lay frame and so on. I'm just happy to see a build that looks this awesome, that didn't go to all those extremes. And a DD to boot. I know there are many others out there doing it on stock suspension. This was just one of the first ones I came across and thats a LWB. Just giving props where props are due.
