I'm sure I will have to redo it within a couple years for sure! But can't really afford to do it rite now so I have to live with it.

Re: FatKids 71 build thread

I'm not sure why, but my rear end doesn't move over and my bar is stock. I was able to use all the existing shocks front and rear. Rides way better then the old heated coils.
