Welcome Bruce.
An easy way to hard tail the rear end is to just remove the shocks and install "struts".
Just lengths of metal, or tubing, that bolt in place of the shocks.
If you don't end up liking the ride, easy to put shocks back on.

By the way they fit perfectly

Been a while since I was on this thread and just figured it was about time for an update... I got an aftermarket frame (rigid) made for an Evo engine and am in the midst of modifying it to accept the KZ engine. A couple things I am dealing with are fabbing up new motor mounts and running wiring through the frame along with making the stock KZ front end work on it. I'll be putting some pictures together for the thread shortly.
