[Gen1Pat]

That is what I'm thinking about doing.

 

[alex456123]

welp whoever does it first successfully is the winner! lol jk

 

[Gen1Pat]

Yeah I'm not winning that one. Too much other **** to do.

You may as well make me a set, I be asking you to make me a set just about as soon as you post a pic.

 

[Gen1Pat]

The hardest part about making a set is bending the pipe. Luckily I have an hyd pipe bender.

 

[alex456123]

we will see my friend, as if im producing to sell i have to pay for materials. and the liability is pretty high too...

Don't tell them lol say you keep screwing up prototypes and are trying different angles and ****

 

[alex456123]

who thinks regular bearings (like skateboard bearings) would be better than the current proprietary suspension bushings/bearings? that i do believe is my current plan!

Amen^^^. I burned mine in there good. I used .154 and .120 wall tubing. It was what I found on ebay at the time, but, it is on the heavy side of what I would have liked. I would have liked to have gotten the 1" in .120" wall. Atleast I know they wont come apart, because it allowed me to get good penetration.

Its were you use longer shocks then factory I have 17.25" long shocks on the front of mine and they are a touch short, but the longer the shock, normally equals smoother ride
