I went on a diet. but the DS can lose some with TVI aluminum swing arm, TBR A-arms, RADmfg titanium rear axle. Alaba or CT pipe. 04 front engine mounts, remove air box, MRHP front hubs, change over to 520 chain, Fox new air shocks.

Bill, are you running the 520 chain.

If so, tell me what I need to get to do it.
