ok.....are you gonna do spring over axle?

K-Town Quad Boy 08 · November 28, 2007, 07:31:39 PM

not as of right now.
we might in the future but no plans to yet.
thats how it was when i bought it and it was real choppy ride.
we did the shackle reversal kit which is supposed to be alot smoother. we also put YJ springs on it
