Side by side though, there is no difference in shape really between the front and rear bulks- but they obviously arent interchangeable. I think these pics show what I mean best:
Front- imagine it is tilted backwards a few degrees.
Rear.
With the Xtreme chassis the skids are built into the chassis, and there is no kick-up to the front skid- I guess when you tighten the bulk into posistion though the skid will flex upwards to the correct angle?... |
I see what you mean now, but like I said, its built into the bulks. Its also built into the skid, which I left out, but I see your concern about how the chassis has the skids built in, so that could cause problems.
If you really wanted to extend one, I would simply cut the rear off, drill some holes, and use a regular skid...
