@Sopkart, so is the ride a little better with the SC shocks up front? I know its not gonna be a world of difference but the stock shocks are stiff as a brick, they might as well stuck a pole in where the shocks are and called it a day, because the ones they have on there don't move at all.

I was a little worried about the shock mount hitting on something too, but I'm gonna put some bigger front tires on as soon as BD gets the 4x110mm Hubs in stock for the Yerf... I have some 19x7x8's laying around but can't put them on without hubs... sucks!

Surplus Center also has these... http://www.*************.com/item.as...catname=wheels which is a great deal at that price, the only catch is finding hubs that will fit for the go kart, they have a 4x108mm bolt pattern, most hubs that I find have 4x110 or a 4x4" bolt pattern, I would have to buy an adapter and that would take the price over the top.

4x110 hubs might fit with a little drilling and a couple hub centric rings... but I wouldn't know what I was doing, I might mess something up.

The only other option would be to buy the set from Surplus Center and then buy some 7" front rims with 5/8" bearings already installed... http://www.*************/item/7-Front-Rim-260037-6613 and then take the tires from the SC wheels and stick them on the BMI rims... all this will be around 100.00 bucks, which is still just about cheaper than buying just the tires buy themselves from somewhere else.
