Definitely not looking to jump stuff at all since that isn't my idea of fun, but I do appreciate a good actual shock vs a spring and tube. As for the tires, I have ran some like that before on a go kart growing up. They worked well but these are pretty dry cracked and need to be replaced just for peace of mind. I have looked at some shocks that aren't pricey at all that are actual absorbers and not the spring and tube setup currently on it. These also need new bushings, and if I am going to have them off, might as well replace them.
Good call on the seat, I was thinking of making it more comfy for sure. It feels like I am sitting on a brick at the moment.

If do replace, keep the old ones so if these wear out/break you can throw the old ones on.

Perhaps this forum should have a warning page?

Denny, My bad. I had not opened up his heading to see where he is from. Now
that you have educated me on all that sticky gooey gumbo stuff you Folks on the east side of the Great Divide call earth, I'll make sure to check geographic location prior to making any more tire recommendations. Can you walk on it when it gets that way, or will it pull your shoes off your feet.

I don't recommend wearing flip-flops and walking on it, when its wet. But, it sure is funny to watch people try, 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂

Hey all. Small update. Engine has been removed from the YerfDog and a new Predator has been bought. After removing the engine and torque converter, I noticed that the jackshaft has seen better days as well as the jackshaft bearings. Ordering new tires and jackshaft, sourcing the bearings locally.

Big question. Are there such a thing as spindle bushings? For the vertical steering part of the spindles?

I see I’m not the only one getting that beautiful $99 predator! Be sure to read what brownstain has said about breaking it in.
