Default Need a lightweight/strong 8" over swingarm for Rappy

I now need a 8" over swingarm. I came very close to bringing it over this last weekend in OK dunes. The front end will not stay down with me(205lbs) sitting on the tank. It's costing me races, and going to get me hurt. I want it to be lightweight, yet it needs to be strong enough to take some whoops. No jumping will be done at all. I just want to be able to race it somewhere other than smooth surfaces. It needs to be lightweight to of course get the weight of this thing down. I love the Tucker 4+ on there now, but it's heavy. It will go on my other Rappy. It can handle all the air I can get. I just hope 8" is enough. I'll be getting some Marvin shaws over the winter as well. That may help with front end rise some. It has enough power at this point to need more than a 4+, and it will be getting even more very soon. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I've had two Metal Tech Swingarms. The rectangular tube swingarm that I had was heavy, but I'm very happy with my aero tube swingarm. Jeff @ Metal Tech was also great to deal with.
