In my opinion front brakes will not help but hurt comin down a hill,unless there controlled separately.Buy some good trailing arms and be done with it,brakes just slow you down anyways :lol: :lol:

Once you get it fixed make your tree bars 1/2" to 1" wider then your tires. That looks the cause of your entire problem. It looks like your tires stick out 8

An easy fix would be to weld some flat stock to the back edge of the tree bars. Like Roy has here. Yours would have to be much bigger unless it

I agree, I would put the extra money in the front braking system to help slow down going down hills, it makes and night and day difference. I started out on my old buggy that had no front brakes, and going down hills with it is too fast and it is hard to control, I should've put a set of front brakes on it, but got rid of it to build me a new one.
