It should be pretty close to this stance. I only have 5" of stroke on the shocks.

If you have the tools and know how, that's the only way to go in my opinion. I wish i had the tools and skills to do it myself.

Yea, I have never done one but I am not scared to do it myself. I have done plenty of cutting and welding in my time. Lol.

Looks awesome, the only thing I would have done different is gone with a bigger antiroll. Those small anti rolls will bend when your making big power.

That's Team Z's Xtreme Duty one. I wish I had talked to my chassis guy before I had bought all of this stuff because he said the same thing. If I bend it I'll have him make me a big one. Dave at Team Z said it should hold up, I guess we'll see.

I am sure I will just buy someone else's old chassis already done up like that before I spend that kind of money, that thing looks more and more hard core every time you post some pics of it.

That's probably what I should have done but I am enjoying watching it come together too. He has a 25.5 spec car he is trying to sell. A customer started it and decided he didn't want it any more. He is selling it for what he's got in it which is $6k.

His # is 972-754-3323. The car is a hatch and has a fiberglass front end and doors, a carbon fiber wing, front is all tube chassis and nice drop spindles and suspension. The car is worth a lot more than $6k I think. Tell him Eddie told you about the car he has for sale.

Picked up the rear end from the powder coater today. Looks good for a rear end housing I guess. No one will ever see it really. Lol
