I definitely realize that, I am not a newbie to the off road world or fabricating suspension. In my Baja Bug, I Installed a bus transmission and built my own rear trailing arms that are 3" longer and 3" wider to get more travel while putting less angularity on the CV joints.
However, I am a newbie to the mini buggy world. I also do not like to reinvent the wheel. I tend to look around at what other people are doing then if I like it I copy it. That's why I ask so many questions. I would like to find out if an idea I see value in will work for what I want to do.
So I am curious, have you ever pulled the spring off of the shock to see how much wheel travel you are getting? I would really like to know what kind of wheel travel is available to a well modified Yerf front end. Right now I have three different ideas of what I might do to the front end, but I am trying to gather all the information that I can before I pull the trigger and to date Your Build is one of the nicest stock based builds that I have seen (masteroyota also).
