Re: Solid axle widening

Personally I like the increased turning angle spacers give you. Please explain.. I believe he is talking about the fact that once you add 35" tires or larger, generally the main factor in limiting your steering angle is your tires hitting the control arms / chassis or other parts of your vehicle at ...

What do you think is wrong with sand blasting?

Angle grinder with flap disc works well.

What you can say is that the less separation; the more force is applied to the suspension components. Personally I run as much vertical separation as I can while still keeping my pinion angle ...

Re: Mounting question

I see two inherent problems with that sort of a setup though, one is stopping it from trying to invert and either bending the shock shaft or snapping the end off. I think the aforementioned Treg Hitch style of joint with two opposing bolts is just going to collapse on itself. Great in tension for ...

Re: Mounting question

ok, without getting into the nitty gritty of how, why or where. I need to mount a coilover and a shock in such a way so that it can move 30-35 degrees from the vertical in all directions any ideas ? have you looked at Johnny Joints (currie enterprises) with high misalignment spacers? I think they ...
