Had swing for a long time. No problem with it off-road. Only issue was when it was on the street, I had to take it easy around the corners since I had the spring plates cranked all the way down for ground clearance (\-/) and didn't want to end up upside down! The left axle end in the tranny finally got chewed up from the severe angle and how hard we ran it over the last three years. I am now in the process of changing over to IRS. Have the clips and trailing arms installed, and now need to put the backing plates and brakes back on.
