Default I got my new gators!

Yeah, since I started this thread I have had one occasion where the reverse was not what i would have liked. But I'm confidant that I can overcome that with a K&N filter, 128 jet (maybe, what do you guys think of 128? enough or should i go 130 or higher)and some holes in the airbox.
I also have a 5" spacer on the way for the Eiger, as well I fabbed a new lift kit for the front whereby I should acheive 4" of lift on the front. 4" on front, and 2" on the rear should make her sit nice and level. I always thought the eigers sat too low in the front. I'll post some pics of the new look soon.

you're going to find that if you go any significantly higher than 2" in the front you'll be at your max CV angles. At a certain point, the control arms just won't droop any further because the outer joints will be maxed, and the cages will clash, going 'clunk, clunk, clunk' as the wheel turns. I had to set my Vinson front shocks at the second softest setting to keep this from happening all the time.

Also, no amount of power is going to overcome a gearing issue. The centrifugal clutch just stalls out. It's like starting out in 2nd gear all the time. It's a matter of reverse just being too high. I wonder if you could alter the linkage to allow a second shifter or a **** or something, to shift into low range, and ALSO be in reverse?
