I have a TERRIBLE time with this thing hopping and bouncing. Over the years we have tried a lot of different things. Nothing would help. When I would hook to a sled with a long lead, no bounce. But hook up to a sled with the real short chain and it bounces like crazy. I was thinking since it is a short wheel base truck with an 8' bed it gives it the illusion that it is a regular wheel base truck. So with a hitch mounted and with the pivot point out near the end of the frame rail it puts it at almost a foot past where a regular long wheel base truck would pull. Puts a lot of down pressure on the back end. So I built a shazam hitch #1. I didn't want to do the latest Shazam hitch because I remember Dan saying it takes a lot of power. And I would be getting back to a short pivot type hitch. So I will try this.

Looks good Dig. Could you have pushed the rear back a couple inches when you welded in the rear?

Thanks Alan! I thought about moving the axle back, but I didn't think a couple inches or 3 would really matter???

You would be surprised what a couple of inches can do.

Very sharp lookin truck, keeps lookin better and better

where did you find those tires digger? ive been looking for some. they are legal in my class, for now ! lol!

I got them off Ebay for, no kidding,$172.00 for all 4 tires. I think you can find them on the internet if you type in Denman Omni-Trax.

careful anon..... whomever you are..... those are not terras, only 1/2 the tire cleans... the chevron pattern is reversed on one side of the tire...
