I just hope he let the nitrogen out, might have big ass scar on his forehead if he didn't.

So as much as I love a good discussion about government spending and farm subsidy bills, I will get this back on track a bit.

todays progress.

Truck looks amazing so far! Quick question though, are you concerned with the amount of weight on the back of the truck? Would mounting the fuel cell in front of or over the rear axle help with the balance of the truck?

That is a great question. The goal in placing the fuel cell behind the axle was to add bias to the rear of the truck, increasing the polar moment of the vehicle to make it track better and more predictable thru the holes. Having first hand experience in designing mid and rear fuel cell trucks i can also tell you that there are advantages to each setup, but in the end we went with the setup that it is less affected by fuel volume change and looks cooler also.

Sorry for lagging on updates. I finally got around to getting the Lower and upper link mounts done and shock mounts.

That's awesome how much more travel did you gain? How long are your trailing arms? How do you go about finding the center of gravity for the truck to position the trailing arms in the right spot. Or you can just give me the place to find that kind of info that would be great also. Could you have just c-notched the frame to gain the clearance? Will you take a picture of how you connected all that tubing to the main frame.
