ok i thought you wanted it lower not just quiet. yea then you probably have done all you can do. i wish these were made like cars were 40 years ago. its scary how thin the metal is. the 3/16 square tubing im using is almost twice as thick as the stock stuff

Since you've built your own new rear axle assembly, why not make brackets to put rear discs on also would sure look better than drums through your thin-spoked wheels

hey lunch box, did you try pulling your shocks loose to see how much lower it would go? also when you get a chance will you measure the rear fender when its all the way up and then all the way down. curious to see how much lift those bags actually get.
