Your Yerfdog comes with 9-1/2" shocks on the front and very little travel- If you want more travel and the nose-dive effect to go away get some 12"+ shocks for the front. Install the new shocks and you will be able to set the proper angle for the heims (horizontal to the ground) and tire alignment. Also with new spindle and larger tires you'll be able to test for turning radius. Then with all this done you might need to lengthen the tie-rod arms. By the way do 1/2" heims if possible. Just a note I moved my rack-n-pinion down so I ended up shortening my tie-rod arms. There's plenty of us here to help you with whatever you run into on the mod. Does it make any better sense? Spiderboxes gain a HUGE amount of stability from these up-grades that will help keep your boy from a roll-over and a pancaked front-end on rough trails.
