well, I finally did some more work to the buggy. I re-worked the front end so I could mount the air shocks a little higher and compress the suspension a little more. I like it a lot better. I"m just hoping that the tires won't scrub under full compression with the opposite tire on full droop. If so, I'll just move the shock on the tube a little higher, no problem. But, I think it will turn out much better like this. Instead of butt welding the tubing where I cut it, I inserted a piece of 1.5" tubing and sleeved the connection to make it stronger. I TIG welded everything and will smooth it out later for a nice clean finish and hopefully will never see the weld.
I also ordered some more air shocks for the rear to replace the coils I have back there. It will be a nicer, cleaner look and will end up requiring less fabrication. Here are some pics of the front...
this is at full compression. I've got about 1" of clearance.
