Above is the manual box I was going to use but could not find one just like that one but with power. So here's the box that is going in now.

I really don't know. I guess as much as I can get away with really. Today was the first time I had a chance to get my set-up blocks out from under the frame and actually cycle the suspension. At my guesstimated ride height, I'll have about 4" up travel and obviously a lot of down travel. I've mounted and remounted the steering box about 5 times now and I think I have a plan for moving it to where it needs to be now. At compression with the forward swinging steering arm, I'm running out of room quickly. From the looks of it, I'd be better off lengthening the short side instead of shortening the long side. If I do that, I can get the tire out of the body and gain a lot of down travel when it's flexed. Oh how the plans change every time I work on it. Go with the flow and keep changing until it all works.......It's not like I have a set of plans to build by anyhow-
 
Why did I ever think this build was going to be for the kids? LMAO
 
This is Definitely for a kid. A kid at heart maybe. ;)

Love it.
 
That things way to dangerous for kids. You'll have to keep it for yourself. :)
 
Not sure if this clip will work, but here's a similar ride... I want one!
