	I just ordered a set of Ward & Dean springs and rear swaybar last
night - won't be shipped for a few weeks but I'm in no great rush.  They
recommended that I lengthen the rear limiting straps by 2"; this is done by
replacing the original metal connecting strap with one that is 2" longer.
They said this would reduce the times the inner wheel would lift off the
ground.
