You and Brianator are absolutely right as to the angle of the coilovers. Leaning them in like that gives the suspension more leverage on them, and resistance likely decreases as the suspension is more compressed, at least compared to a more straight setup. Your setup actually has more angle to it than any other I can remember seeing, lol.

Well, I finally got around and did it.  Now the shocks are || instead of /\.

Front still has the shock cushion, but it is a bit stiffer for not being so tipy.  Now it is just murray tippy.  LOL

As mentioned, easy bolt on.  This one I accidentally drilled the hole in the top.  Sometime in the future, I'll trim off the excess.

Got some wheelin' in today. Not as fun at my in-laws now since they have been clearing out trees. It's wheelin' non-the-less and some riding is better than no riding!

Bowser ran great today. I had the brake nut a little too much screwed in. Nothing a 1/2 wrench couldn't handle. Red ran well today as well! I did catch a log due to the lower front axle height. I bounced off the little skid plate on the axle as hoped and was able to continue without issue. I tried to video the ride but only one camera worked but it was too "vibrating to be usable". Ahh

Doing some thinking and I think the tires on L'il Red are going to migrate to the Wheel Horse build Red Bandit.  Then I think the currently unused Rat Rod tires from Dirty Rat will migrate to L'il Red and The Dirty Rat will stick with the offroad set as the Default Tires.

You catch all that?  LOL  I hope so.  -= Li'l Red =- - Page 27 1098998679

These tires will go to the Red Bandit

These tires will go to Li'l Red.

These are now the default tires for the Dirty Rat
