Finally started on some of the pieces. Motivated now to have finished before choco. Front diff cover area is cut out of an 8" I.D. dom tube section. housing plate is cut from 1/2" steel plate. need to build the jig, to start laying out the 1/4" wall dom tube shafts. Going to have short side 3" longer and all shock mounts, braces, spring perches from 1/4" plate and braced together. here's the start.

if your on a incline sideways with too much sprung weight, its going to pull you over and your going to roll... but with more weight unsprung (axles/tires) your going to be planted. that makes sence to me

High unsprung weight makes suspension movement more difficult to control.
