ok guy's.here's my take on the 3rd shock modif everyone seem to be doing.it working realy good side to side.
but as with all hopper type rear suspension its still boncy front to back...

Wow, thats one of the nicest i've seen. 8) I've never heard of or seen the extra shocks being added to a Grasshopper before. I could be wrong but the original grasshoppers rear couldn't articulate. The Grasshopper II and Hornets could.
