Seems like you got a bunch of adjustment as far as ride height with the pre-load adjuster turned way down.
What are ya running for up-travel? Shocks charged to 150psi?

The pre loaders are adjusted so that the springs have just abit of pre load with the shock fully extended.The front spring rates are good,with some pre load the shock has about 6" up travel.That's what I was aiming for.As for the back,it's a bit on the stiff side.Had to order some softer springs and try to get it soften up abit.The rear bucks really bad at speed.
shocks are charged to 180psi.

Picked up my new carb this week and got it on the buggy.I was quite surprised at how it handled the angles. run it up one of the silo walls and it sat there and idled as if it was on flat ground. Picked up some plate and got the belly pan on.Nice and flat... hoping to get out to the Ringer and PowerPuff Sunday and get the bugs worked out. Rue

What thickness plate did you go with? 3/16" wanted 1/4 but they didn't have any in stock.So I figured that I'd try thinner first and try to keep the weight down.

Saw a cool trick once to keep bolt heads from catching; Flat bar the thickness of the bolt head, with holes the size of the bolt socket welded over... then you can grind angles into both ends of the flat bar as well.
Looks awesome!

Gotta hand it to ya, its not gonna get any better than that for low COG and stability. Look at that back tire!
Good to hear the carb is ok, even my two barrell stocker is fine unless really really tipped over. It will keep running, but sometimes hard to start if really off-camber. Did you try shutting it off and starting all tweaked out like that?

Ya, I shut it off before I got out to take the pic.Started right back up with just a bump on the starter.Think that angle is about the limit for the carb,notice a bit of fuel seeping out of the secondary throttle shaft.Think any more angle it would start to idle rough,but i think that you could keep it running until the buggy fell over Rue

Thanks guys, I haven't put the sway bar on it yet.Not sure that I'm going too.It seems pretty stable.
