the 86 swinger bolts right up and the only mod is you will have to put a few shims in on the top dogbone mount, washers or whatever. that way you will get 2 extra inches over the 85 swinger. you could use the rear carrier and axle, but the 85 bolts right up to the 86 swinger as well. using the 86 carrier with axle allows you to use the hinda 300ex and 400ex rer hubs, which will instantly give you an inch wider on each side, but you can always use the stock t3 hubs, and go the route of wheelspacers, for 2.5 inches extra width on each side. throw in a nice set of aftermarket itps or douglas wheels with the 3x5 offset, and your talking bout a real wide assend! for shocks, people have used the 01 raptor with the stubby hose, most people i know of are changing out the stock raptor hose and using the stock t3's rear shock hose, then you have to have it re-charged. i have heard of people using the newer raptor shocks with piggyback ressy as well, i think they have to be mounted upsdie down though. the 300ex shock bolts up, just drill out the top pivot mount hole to use the 300ex bolt. however that shock isnt all that adjustable, and kinda stiff. i have heard one member on here used a banshee shock, but never heard how good it worked though.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "HOLY SH-T, what a ride!"
