GQ rear shock/coil contact...Q.??

Post by MUD EMPIRE »

When you upgrade GQ coils and shocks, the coils are larger over all diameter
and the shocks (usually) are also bigger..............has anyone found a way to stop the
two coming into contact with eachother..??

I have Dobinson coils and the OME shocks 'bit the dust'.

New shock now in place......ready to be 'eaten' by the coil when articulating.....

adjustable arms to bring the lower length and or upper length to what it should be for the correct pinion angle.
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown

Yep longer lower arms, and maybe a small shock spacer if needed.
