BODY LIFT? Yay or Nay?

[old school truck dude]

I like to keep it as low as possable with biggest tires possable.  That way the rig is much more nimble on the trails.  

I know someone else that builds their rigs this way.  

That would be like EVERYBODY out west in the desert. They try to keep the COG as low as possible to keep from turnin over on steep trails.

body lifts put way to much stress on the body it self. id keep it low and do some trimming if need be. you can trim and make it look super clean and never know it was trimmed.

Id rather see body lift than guys that cut half the fenders out to fit tires

Well i only need about and inch of clearance to keep off that front tire. Ive learned more from flat black about dodges than anyone i know so maybe one clean cut wont hurt anything. Its not like im scrubbing bad its just that one spot

10WD40 ROGER THAT! Looks like im gonna be picking up a '11 Kawasaki Ninja, so my newest plan is to get this RC at least running RIGHT, so I can take my son to a few trips to R & V this summer. Besides the necessary repairs theres prolly not gonna be a lot of building going on for a bit.
   

  HEY! So if my trucks out of time what could that be? I checked the firing order off a print out from online. Then i bought the manual. I can get it set where it runs perfect at idle. As soon as i put it in gear and drive it under load it misses, cuts out and backfires BAD. Adter about 1/4 throttle sometimes it cuts completely out, almost like it stalled. Then if i feather it back itll pick up and run again. My buddy thinks it jumped a tooth but im sorta doubtful about that. I pulled two of the plugs and theyre both pretty nasty so maybe ive actually got it timed right and its just missing from the fouled plugs? How would i know if i was off a tooth?

  From TDC on piston #1 the rotor is pointed to what should be plug #1. Facing the distributor its the one not closes to me but one to the left. I've also found a few things online saying that #1 on the distributor is the one closes to me.

  I'm gonnna swap plugs this weekend and try and set it again and see where that gets me.

From body lift to engine work!! What's going on here? I'm lost!!

I would start with a tune up then ask flat black to help tuning hes the mopar man!

[a99moparman]

nay

[BigCountryDRC]

Well i figured id start the missing issue as lang as i had everyones attention. I can start a new thread if it would make you happier

[Rosco]

No just messing with you.. Go with betterbeaters idea and get a hold of flat black! He is the Dodge guy!!

[BigCountryDRC]

I pulled all the plugs this afternoon they looked pretty nasty. I cleaned them all up then set the timing by ear and its running a little better. This weekend im gonna buy new plugs and wires and see if flat blacks got some time to look at it in his shop

Good luck!!
