				It looks like I need to raise the Impact gearboxes up on the DT brace some to get the sprockets up a little higher .Ok ive got it higher its a little better to go higher more will have to get some longer screws added 1 extra washer per stand off and DT gearbox mount .
Thanks

				Yes they just swap out they come with long and short stand offs having a little problem with mine between the Impact torsion bar suspension and th DT spring Idlers and the sprocket still looking low im not getting good turns yet the sprockets want to slip in the metal tracks .
Thanks

				Septon due you have the Impact Torsion bar suspension in your KT I think I may need to re do the adjustment there first to get the height right .
 Thanks
