Default RE: Genesis BASHING PROJECT! ! ! !!

Welcome to the madness!!!!

If you plan to jump high and far with a 16lb truck you WILL break parts!! I've done it!! your shoacs are a bit heavy on the oils I would bring both down to 80wt in the front and 90wt in the rear with the large spacers! I would stay away from the aluminum parts if plan on bashing that hard. order yourself several sets of the OEM suspension arms. It cheaper to replace broken plastic than it is to replace bent aluminum. But if you insist on using aluminum suspension then at least find a cheap part to keep plastic as your weak link that will cost very little to replace. the thinking here is if your suspension is so ridgid there is no give you WILL break axle stubs, Suspension arms, bend hinge pins and screws, break C-hubs ect and so on.. So build in a weak link. Protect your engine!! You dot want this to happen



That was a very hard landing on the rear end from about 15-20 high!!

You can try to use a good rollcage but you WILL bend or break that too, but your truck will take more!!

Have fun!!
