Does the body flex much when you're crossed up like in the above pic? Do you hear it creaking and groaning? Can you open and close the doors?
I didn't feel the body flex at all. I never flt a wheel leave the ground all weekend, so force the body would not have been maxed out... but I don't think it would, since the frame rails underneath were reinforced with tubes nd then the subframe added.

the drivers door doesn't latch shut right now, but that's becase of a tree incident :p , and just needs a litle tweaking to the B pillar to fix...

I was hearing noises, but it was left front lower link hitting the tube in the frame rail, so I need to trim the frame tube a bit on that side.

and both my front fenders need another 1.5" trimmed out as they both got crunched from the up travel/flex :D but thats a good problem...

one issue I have is visibility though... since the seats are so low in the Brat/Brumby, it's hard to see the tires, so this winter, I'm going to make some half doors, along with the SPFI swap....
