    I'll look into it, but as far as I remember it requires the hog0005 coilovers.
    I should be able to fix this in the next update or 2 as I plan on replacing the hog frame with a customisable one that allows you to choose between different front and rear chassis sections, eg. lifted, standard, lowered or racing tube frame.

    Thank you very much man, I appreciate it. I also appreciate the immense amount of work you do on these mods, they're so awesome for crawling. Usually I have to tune mods to make them work best for me, but these are just outstanding on their own, and the amount of customization bewilders me. Again, thank you.

    I know they arent 66s, I still need to cut the body and add some lifted leaf springs but this is on 49x18R19 wheels and tires that will be available in the next update.

    a 1ft body lift might help.

    I was thinking that, torsion does a 5" Body lift so that might be the go for now (https://www.beamng.com/resources/d-up.1485/), otherwise I thought I might extend the suspension mounts to try and preserve the chassis ground clearance.

    That or go all out and build a chassis like this for each body style

    66x43R26 tires on the crew cab with a 5" body lift by torsion and my 4 link suspension..
    It has a long way to go as far as wheel and tyre stability, it also needs much bigger stronger axles and suspension subframes but there is definitely potential

    Would you ever think of adding a fiberglass baja front like this

    Maybe at some point, I do like the style, probably not in the immediate future though. I have a fair bit on my plate at the moment and that will probably come along with a rear end after the tube frame is completed

    Like I was saying with the 1ft body lift. it would let the body clear the tires (could make a second frame so it doesn't look like complete shit). it's what Earthquake has

    Is it intentional that the rear suspension has no model for the springs and shocks? Same with none of the links having ends.

    For the time being its intentional, I'll go through and make nicer/complete meshes when jbeam development of the suspension has been finished.
    Complex meshes make a lot more work when it comes to editing link positions etc, I may add some basic coil over shock meshes in the near future as I am pretty happy with how everything is performing at the moment.

    I would honestly be fine with normal coil overs from the 3 link

    I've got a question I've had this mod downloaded before and the engine sounded like the Barstow v8 but I deleted it and I've redownloaded it recently and it makes a normal d series v8 sound I've got no mods but this one so there is no mods conflicting I cleared the cache and un installed and re installed my game is it suppose to sound like that now or is there something wrong on my end

    The 40+ inch tires don't really fit anymore. Would it be possible you could make the ride height be able to go higher?

    As soon as I get a chance to get the portal axles back again the lift wont be an issue, the best I can suggest for the time being is to grab torsions D up mod, it has a couple of Body lift options that help clear the bigger tires..
    I want to cut the body to fit larger tires, higher springs mess with the geometry too much and cause other issues.
    At some point I will be releasing a higher lift version of the current 4 link axles as well as leaf sprung set ups but that wont be for a while

    Will you be cutting the bed fenders as well? Also you should add some rock sliders and different front and rear bumpers that arent for the cage.

    ^^ I like it.

    At some point I'll get the extra clearance done but I really need to finish a few bits off first so that I can pay some attention to the hopper for a week or two.
    Ideally I'd like to merge the two mods so that updates are easier to manage and quicker to build with a bonus of more parts being available for both vehicles.
