Default Custom Radio Flyer wagons

This summer i picked up this nice Radio Flyer wagon for a great price.

I'm looking to do some mods so my 6 month old girl can have some cool wheels for next summer

Are there any local shops/stores that sell equipment for this type of thing?

I'm thinking of a lift kit with little shocks or leaving the height alone. I'll add a cushion, canopy, mini DVD player and a rack for a cooler on the back.

Any more ideas?

This is what I'm starting with, it was only $45.00 at a swap meet

I always saw them being slammed when I used to go to shows in the south. They would do body drops on them, put a little seat, portable dvd player/screen, and paint them all up. One guy went as far as designing an air suspension for it and when he dropped it the bottom of the wagon scraped the pavement.

I thought about that route, but figure going higher might make pulling it easier on long days... I'm not sure

I'd have to agree, the bigger the tire, the easier it seems to pull all day.

It has the super duty shocks so it will handle all loads, from your kids to the kegs.
