matts87glsedan Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) looks rad whats the master plan for mounting the front of the spring? if you just stick a bolt through it, wont the axle try to twist it off when it articulates? or will the bushing be good enough to absorb that twist... *went back thru the pics* ok so nvmd it is bolted thru... i suppose this unit isnt going to have crazy rock crawler axle travel anyway, so maybe it doesnt matter so much.

monstaru Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 If you do not add a panhard bar you will end up ripping those shock mounts off. You WILL have side to side movement with those springs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
