If its the freestyle then it will be the same as mine. Depending where you take it, consider some strengthening near the front hanger on the rear springs which is where mine cracked through (see the pictures on the previous link/s). Try and keep the load down as much as possible, keep the airbag pressure down on the rough stuff, and I definitely hope you don't experience the failures I did!

Thanks Geoff, sorry bit slow getting back, I've been out using my Trayon. Your info was very helpful, I'm researching having some reinforcement done to the chassis.
Yes mine is a freestyle cab, so forewarned is forearmed, the link was useful, thanks.
One question, were you running the stock rear springs on your BT50 ?
Happy trails,
Paul

Hi Paul, I was running Ironman heavy duty springs and foam shocks on the back.
Cheers, Geoff
