Did some engine/suspension work too. Changed out the 12T pinion for 15T. Also moved the shocks mounts outwards to help counteract the body weight a bit better. And added some truck wheel weights to the axle platforms to lower the COG.... that's 6 up front and 7 in back!
I'm thinking about adding 4 or 6 more up front. Will have to see how it feels when i get the body on and test drive.
Ok i changed my mind... put the rest on the front. That's a total of 14 (~.5 lb) up front and 7 (~.25 lb) in rear.
Also painted some shackles..
Sounds fun!

Awesome!
It'll be a lot easier to do a dark color too... im not happy with how my paint came out where i had to repaint some parts black that i forgot to mask; black/white is the ultimate contrast and shows every error
Test drive today... uploading video now.
Ordered my Commander today! Now I need to get a chassis?
