oh yeah they have quite the reputation for going wheels up if you take a corner too fast.

Yeah, they had an incredible rollover rate when they were introduced. The more I learn about most drivers though...I can totally see it. I'm pretty positive I'll keep all four down on the highway. Because I'm not retarded. Haha. These are essentially a Tracker/Sidekick with a SFA. I have a lot of work to do, but I'm pretty excited. And 27 MPG @ 55mph :x

Got my lift on!

A buddy of mine and I pulled an all-nighter and knocked out the lift in 7 hours including a break at Whataburger and a trip to The Home Depot to get new bolts for the rear spring mounts. The bolts were frozen in the sleeve and we had to remove them with a sawz-all and a cut off tool. PICTURES:

This setup gets more flex, and less wheel hop.

Here's another video (when it finishes uploading)
