Your right on the same train of thought I am. I'm looking at doing exactly what your saying. I think the hardest part would be matching up the existing track and extending the track and welding on some new track to it to extend it lower. Then the second challenge would be finding gas shocks long enough to travel the extended distance I'm looking for. It's doable though I think. May be easier to just replace the whole track system with a like track rather than welding onto existing track. Appreciate all the responses. Brainstorming is how we get things done.
