Trust me, I'm all for slammed rides, but graphite is right about that shock angle. But as long as your prepared for it, then I say give her *!!! Any plans for slamming the front end??

I did this build for a guy. Not my style but he is the customer. Its 8"stretched dio, slammed and rides like stock.

I welded and reinforced the frame. :thumbwink: I know my welder sucks. LOL
some guys don't add any metal to the frame. they just bolt the motor right to the frame and go. :nervous:

That looks a little hairy, I would do a little more support on that motor mount area, but thats me and I plan on doing 70+ on my SpreeX50.
