5lbs lighter so 10lbs off the nose! a little different shock angle to get less stroke to wheel ratio and of course I lose my 90* at full bump and I reduced the wheel travel to 24" with out loosing ground clearance which puts me to 6" ground clearance at full bump but wasn't planning on that nor do I think more than 4" is really needed for dunes.
