am a little worried about the drive shafts...they are just a hair short and my pivot balls are bottomed out....
Basically, you don't want the driveshaft to sit too deep. can you get a pic of how they are positioned now?

Serum,

I'll get a pic posted soon. But the dog bones were almost falling out of the diff drive cups....so I installed a 1mm washer on the inside of the steering knuckle and tuned the suspension just short of flat. The pivot balls are also bottomed out on the suspension arms. Now the dog bone is perfect in the drive cup...plenty of room for suspension travel and no fear of it falling out under load. I am just a tad disappointed with the amount of suspension travel I have...its more like a monster buggy than a Monster Truck.
