Extended Chassis

[TRDStreetFighter]

Explain to me why I should get one.. or do I really need one?? Advantages and Disadvantages

Those are some big ass wheels....

personally, I wouldnt' get an extended chassis, I see no point. And if you have HB center CVD's, they won't work, just brings problems when you're looking for aftermarket products.

wheels are just for messing around i usually use these

The longer chassis gives a bigger foot print. I'd say you needed it except for the fact that you are running some really heavy wheels.

The extra length on the chassis helps keep all four on the ground when using a heavy duty engine. Longer chassis means longer moment arm equals harder to lift front end. However, those are some huge wheels and the aluminum is extra weight as well. Probably have enough to keep the wheels planted.

BTW Nice looking ride. Was admiring it in the gallery last night.

I have the extended chassis and titanium rear drive from new era and It has made a huge difference. I have stock size wheels though. less wheelie action and better cornering when running on street. I am running a .26 (finaly) and it is awsome. Keeps your wheels planted on the ground.

oh i see is it really worth the money
and i need some good bashing tires

 

[Markanthony]

It is if you run the stock tires. If you run the bigger/wider tires or offset rims, I am not sure. I had issues with handling since I installed the bigger engine. And now it does not wheelie as easily and corners a bit better. So for me, Yes it was worth it.
the extended chassis is a little thicker too.
