Paul,

See my earlier response to you.  I recommend using Bige turbo gas FRONT urq
inserts in the REAR of your urq.  You don't need the hassle of using the 5k
units.  The Boge fronts are stiffer to account for the added weight up
front.  My urq does NOT have these, but there are at least 3 urq's in the
PNW that are using them with good results!

HTH.
