Thanks a lot chaps, I’ve fitted the DDM HD rear springs now and it bottoms out at +2 feet now and now sags a lot less, well not at all now. Trust me this is a bit heavier than the standard buggy she once was.

The tires have an air gap because I have to use front foams in the rear. I reckon the tires will tear after a few full throttle runs but we’ll see.

I’m using hostile zero growth fronts on the rears because you can’t use rear foams with Trenchers, well you can if they are soft poop.
The first picture gives you the best idea of how much the tires sag.
I’m going to use black button heads with rear nuts on these.

Thanks mate and yes Bonehead is quality at making carbon fibre parts.
Let me know if you want a complete parts list because it’s long??

Basically after the GH stuff comes the only original parts will be the shock bodies, rear bulkhead, body mounts, and most of the PCSC.

Trust me the PCSC mod is the one for standard engine mounted engines regardless of power. You can even get carbon clutch discs now. You’ll never strip a spur gear again.
I know this seams extra but I’m going to plug these gaps with black mesh. It will help save headache in the long run. I know it’s even more weight but with 8.5BHP fcuk it.

Ok so a couple of items missed and ordered,

Fitted
MIP Exhaust gasket
MIP Tow strap

On order, delivery in a few days.
Threshold shock collars
Kraken LED Light bar
 
I’ve mounted the lighting box where I want it now.

It will do, there is space in the batt box for it but some reason I can’t explain, I want to keep them separate and I have the space to do so.

If you don't mind me asking, How much was the order?

In all honesty this is first time I’ve made a complete list of parts and I’m sure I’ve missed a few things.

I took me a few years to get all these bits and I’ve never kept track of how much I’ve spent. If I did I’d stop. Some bits were given to me some bits were bought in the states some from Australia and lots from the UK.

I reckon if you tot it all up it’s a lot, I’m not about to add it up but I’m sure if you want to you could go on DDM and a few other sites and work it out. Do me a favour though if you do please keep the number to yourself, well don’t tell me. ????
