    To much to list!
    I say go 4.5-5" over with a spindle. Fix all the weak links. On the upper arm just do tubed arm running heims then heimed steering.

    Well thats kinda my plans. If I get a custom front end. I think my friend was telling me 5 or 5.5" over then the spindles will push an extra 2" over per side. right now Im at 4" over so an extra 6" wider over all will be nuts for me.

    If you refine your design, work out the bugs, this maybe the start of a NEW LT company? You have a great start! You can even have companies like Icon or Race runner make you C/O's with your company logo on them. Just like what Camburg did. Be your own boss, and take a chance.

    Good Luck!

    There are a lot of things that factor in then just building something and selling it. he has to worry about if it fails on someone does he fix it or not. If someone gets hurt is he at fault? will someone take his design? how to keep everything the same every time you build it. R&D. Testing. Fail point. Thats why these companies charge so much is because they put a lot of money and time to build and test everything.

    they actually get yelled at by insurance companies. sometimes sued also. it depends on what agreements the customer signs and or goes over with them. there is also the guilt factor they have. No one wants someone to die or get hurt because of their product.
