Yup = the rear pinion has so much travel that my 1st design, the 1/4 eliptic shackle ripped itself right off the housing. The new mount is holding strong so far, it is the trial & error thing with custom suspension.

Thanks Dennis, it is starting to finally come together = should be an Awesome year of wheelin'. A few more adjustments & adds to make before I'm happy with it.

Did ya get to hit the Easter Jeep Event this year?

Next year is a for sure for us to be there for the event, possibly we could hook up? I'm sure the "Jeep" Guys will just hate the fact that a Kia can go where they go. He<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />He.

No I still haven'nt been to Moab in Easter but I plan to some year. I have allready witnessed Jeepers hating Kia's going where they go with just my, Dave's (before the SAS), and logansportage Kia's, yours should blow them away.
