splitter valve maybe?

Yes I think a splitter valve would work, If I went that route

you could always pull stabilizers on the rear you manually set. use some tubing that sides inside each other and cut holes for pins to go in. you can't up pressure on them to lift the rear but it maybe enough to keep the nose on the ground. just an idea that may help you.

I think You guys just like to keep me welding away:);)

I have been working on this today, And went with your Idea, and the others that also pointed It out, with the tube...I figured by the time I got more weight on the front, I could have this rear Stabilizer set up and running

Hi Danny,

your spade looks great, was wondering how you are making out with it and if you had any sketch's of the dimensions you would share? I could use one of these and building one seems like the best option for me

thanks for any help

And if nothing else- you have the 4 tire rotate under control in NASCAR fashion! Seriously- great job. Keep us in the loop.
