Unfortunately, this year the indoor 4x4 clashes with something else I cannot avoid - so we will not be there!

Too big?

It is, but only by about 20mm - and there is nothing more of the bodywork that I can cut away.

In the pictures, it is pretty much sat on the bump stops - no pressure in the shocks.

These (Fedima TrialAde 10.5x35") stand 36.5" tall. Ironically if they were actually 35" they would be fine.

Should I:
1. Extend the bump stops, loose a couple of inches travel - and live with it. Or
2. Flog these and buy a set of Simex or similar 35"

Depends on the terrain kind. In bogs like we have here - large travel is disadvantage. Wheels sink like an anchor.

what about maxxis creepy crawlers - supposed to come out about 1/2 inch undersize and are popular on the trials scene
the simex copies always come out oversize about 1 1/2" so you could put 33s on and they'd come out 34.5"
