so we finished it somewhat and took it to rausch creek today for a shakedown...didn't do the antiwrap bar cause we wanted to break the springs in just a little so they would settle just a bit...not the hottest idea ever lol

Ouch! Looked like a good time until it wrapped.
frickin awesome down...well done. It looks like you kept the toaster oven drawing?
that's one way to settle the springs 
Looks good.... how are ya gonna get more flex out of the rear?

have to have an onboard toaster for my breakfastes, the obscene stuff had to be covered up though...but if ya look real close you can still see it
. and the flex i'm not too worried about, it's stable as hell, i had no idea that my tire was lifting that much the whole time. but i think the suckdown winch will help, it'll improve my shackle angle, and lower it alltogether thus improving things on the droop end. if it's still as stiff maybe we'll end up softening up the rear leaf pack a bit but we'll see how the other stuff works first, i'm headin back to the shop
