No! With a suburban you should have more room to tuck a rear u-bar so take advantage of that! Make the rear pump up really high but let it come down so that when the tahng is down the u-bar is against the roof... I did it on the same type of model (a navy blue metal surburban) and It looked sick... Except for the fact that I used weight and it was on 20 inch spokes hopping..

here's a suburban circus hopper i threw together after reading this topic.

The rear is actually spring loaded and has some travel to it. i still need to make a ubar for the front.

That's a badass setup you've got there!

Thanks! :biggrin:

I'm still deciding which motor to run to the front.
What do you think?

 

[babybikeboi2]

a mabuchi # 280 motor, i think they run about 3$ cnd over here

 

[1ofaknd]
