That tire should be well outboard of the chassis on his car, without articulation.is the tire rubbing the tube?

This one weighs 3970 lbs without the water in the front tires. A little more than i had hoped, but all the weight is down low so im not too mad about it. Previous rig was in the 5200lb range. So i dropped a good amount and gained all the visibility. I do miss the truck look though. Maybe the fenders u front will help fix that one day.That place looks badass. Did you ever weigh this buggy compared to your last one?
Is suspension geometry comparable? If so, and most everything else is apples to apples. I am curious how much you can feel the difference dropping over 1k lbs.This one weighs 3970 lbs without the water in the front tires.

Suspension geometry is similar but not the same. I went with a lower antisquat on this one and so far it seems really stable.Is suspension geometry comparable? If so, and most everything else is apples to apples. I am curious how much you can feel the difference dropping over 1k lbs.
It was awesome. Great turnout of some amazing competitors and rigs. My qualifying got a little western and ended up DQ'ing. I hit too many boundary flags. Rig did great though and a local buddy ended up taking home the $10k first place prize.the_white_shadow How was the Top Gun Shootout?

My guess is that the shock bottomed out hard and bent the upper bolt. It has spacers on each side of the misalignment making the bolt a little long though the upper mount. A shorter bolt shouldnt have a problem. i think if i welded in the spacers, it would fix the problem. No bump stops with the air shocks. Hopefully this change to thicker oil will keep it from completely bottoming out on hard hits.do share how you bent a shock bolt. bid a misalignment spacer not get seated or something? or is because of not bump stops?. you may them but i dont recal.
i always thought air shocks had an internal bump inside.My guess is that the shock bottomed out hard and bent the upper bolt.

it makes since that a hard hit could bend the bolt with now bumps for sure. but thats still a 1/2inch bolt. not a small feat i would not think.
