hi i run mine on sand at beach and .what i did was raise the chassis as high as i could and as stiff as you can . 80wt all 4 shocks red springs and 1/2 inch of preloads use what you want this set up works for me ps seal up radio gear good sand can find its way into very small holes ...and for wheelies no its called a rooster tail lol And our sand in erie pa. is more like gravel not the soft ocean sand on the coast lines
