Might wanna use a bigger spring, or make a bastard pack in the back for that swap. just my two cents though, so far this build looks awesome. Where at in KY are you? I live in Tally, FL but have a lot of family in the Horse Cave area up there and when I visit nobody wants to wheel with me. Be nice to have somebody in the area to ride with!
