I would add some wheels up by the bend on the rails.Remove your slides.You can add a shaft in the rear between the rails and use a strap and suck the it down using a strap from the shaft to the upper arm by the shock.

Easiest way to suck it down is just simply add more plastic shims to the bottom of the transfer rods, when the sled is compressed this gap gets bigger, by placing more shims on the bottom is squats it right down, then adjust front limiters and the track will sit flat.

Wouldnt the top side of the transfer rods need the shims? When you sit on the sled, the top area of the transfer rod gap gets bigger. maybe i am just not understanding you correctly?mrviper700 said:Easiest way to suck it down is just simply add more plastic shims to the bottom of the transfer rods, when the sled is compressed this gap gets bigger, by placing more shims on the bottom is squats it right down, then adjust front limiters and the track will sit flat.

No, the top gets smaller the bottom below the bracket grows, theres a bolt in the end of the rod, remove it and have someone stand on the bumper and install bigger shims. takes about 2 mins to do this.
You dont need hardly any travel at all on asphalt the stiffer the better.
