I'm sure it did...spring over in general, flexes better.

Using 13" travel shocks as bumpstops and droop limiters plus not plating the frame is what did it. I never expected it to flex as much as it did. hehe Had it not been constantly bottoming and maxing out the shock travel, it would have been fine.

Hey Fat bastard... The reason Robin and I were slider surfing was because it had broke. He had no front shocks to keep the front end from diving
