Nice mod, steering slop is the worst. I did not realize Bowhouse RC was up here in Canada. I somehow recall ordering my Bowhouse parts from Amain

That is quite the good looking steering setup B-MOW, can’t wait to hear how it does out on the trail. "thumbsup"
What a great build! Nice job on that body too. Im glad to see this ifs work so well for you. Have you experienced any issues with the gear set in the front diff yet?
B, just a heads up. Raise or not, the front diff ground clearance is identical. The only difference comes in the fact with stock shocks and keys the shocks are now in a 13mm lower position. Same as adding longer shocks to the stock set up. But the suspension itself without a shock attached is no different with or without raise. But the raise does create high centering problems stock doesn't have (but better CG in exchange) because it loses that same amount at the frame.
The actual fix is the KC front skid that's in the overland pack. Fixes the hang up issues that are actually just caused by the joke of a stock front skid angle. The ifs raise has a new front skid with it, that's what does the magic.

I Like to see updates to the trailwalker, one of the most surprisingly capable rigs imo. Even on stock tiny tires. Not to mention a body so ugly, I can’t help but like it

If you don't have the stock shock keys for ifs in, you can use those to lower the shock, softer front springs if need be to get her to sit where you want and keep the front from coming up too much.
I could see that being a total pain with that beautiful body. I will warn you though, if you don't do a lot of trying to crest sharp ledges (thus high centering issues) or running creek beds or the like with a bunch of just the right size rocks to annoy you, you're going to get a bit addicted to the raise. For trail or large rock type formations it definitely shines having that bit lower COG.

Unfortunately, you will need to hack more fender and limit the shock travel if you want to use the Trailwalker body. I even used 4.19 KM3s! I'll tell you what though, the Trailwalker with IFS, Knight Customs IFS mod, and 4.19 is a suprisingly fun and capable combo! I'm actually going to be converting my Trailwalker to a Trailrunner soon probably though. If you ever noticed on the Knightrunner, it comes stock with spacers on the shock shaft to limit the compression travel.
