I'm thinking this might have something to do with it....

I believe the strut towers begin to look like this /  \ rather than something like this  |   |

thanks, that's what I was thinking. do you think a GV's strut towers may be stronger since there is a stut bar? I don't know if any kicks have them but the ones I've seen don't

I was looking at my GV today and noticing it may be possible to make longer links for my 5 link.. would be the same for the bottom, tricky on the top

yea, that long link thing looks pretty cool, did he mess with the top link too?

 Don't worry guys, it's well worth the wait..  It works relly well and is very thought out. Mike was getting a foot of air with the front tires and didn't know it..  Hopefully you'll get the full skinny soon so he wheels it more..
