Does anyone think that lowering the tailgate down to the frame like people do on the trucks, is a good idea or bad?
I could see where it would help, but I'm a little concerned that it will put to much pressure on the frame and make it belly faster.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks

I wouldn't sugest lowering the tailgate. I left stock bumper on it and just little straps welded from the bumper to the tailgate and I hit with the frame all night. I wouldnt sugest hitting with the front AT ALL....they blow out right behind the a-arms

I probably should stick with the way I built the last one. 7 derbies, 4 wins, 2 2nd's and a 5th. I must have done something right, LOL Bart 2525

OK, I have a question, maybe stupid, but never built or ran a burban yet ..
the bed or floor of my burban is fine with no rust .. but above the wheelwells on the interior it is seperating/rusty ... how to fix? or anything to help strengthen it there? might be a mute point, building for a pretty stock derby ... thanks for responses if any ..

I got some somewhere, really haven't got to put it to the test yet, first derby we ran it at had 5 or 6 trucks (been 2 years ago) and took 2nd, ended up knocking the tranny out, haven't ran it again since, planning to run it again this next year....i have pictures of the full build, every little thing that was done if i can find some after pics of the first run I will post them

try to space them evenly in between the original mounts, make sure you use the biggest plates possible top and bottom so they almost touch....on ours i can't remember how many we added but i know the plates inside are less then 1/2 inch apart firewall to the tailgate
