RMA

WEll my kit arrived today , I will try and install this kit this weekend . I am going to keep it simple and just mount the lower shock mount on the axle right next to the original mount, and not mess with the upper mount.
Do you guys think this will be ok or am I missing something, any advice is greatly appreciated.

I also bought a t shirt for my son , now my daughter is pissed at me.

Man I still got to get one of those kits. Can't wait to see the install!

I installed mine and put the shock mounts on top of the axle up out of the way, but where you are putting them should be fine. There is the possibility you may hang on them or destroy them while on the trail. Just be aware of that.

What are you doing for bump stops? You want to send me your old ones?

Mount the lower shock mounts at 10 and 2.

RMA

Thanks guys 10 and 2 it is , I guess that will keep them out of the way.

The Bump stops , I havent thought about that .
I will look into that a bit , if I dont need them or need others I guess I can get rid of my old ones .

If eveything goes pretty fast I will also install the lockright and 4:88's.

*hides* so just to be sure, thats in relation to the top of the axle tube being 12.

RMA

I am thinking yes , The picture I have above of the axle with the red circle , well the circle is at about 3 so I was originaly thinking 9 and 3 but I will now put them at what wabbit recommends 10 and 2.

Never seen a standard clock where 12 wasn't on top. Must be some Canadian thing eh?

By the way , thanks

do you really need the bump stops? or are they there so that there is less of a chance the truuck will flop?

4banginRunner

YES you NEED bumpstops...........

The are the cushion for your suspension, also and probably the most important is that they prevent any binding, shock hyper-extension, d-shaft issues, ect..

here's a tip; BUY YOUR DAUGHTER A T-SHIRT!



hey and I'll take one too while you're in the t-shirt buying mode

RMA

Yea I am going to have to order one for her , I was actually looking at the sliders to order .


I did not get to install this kit today and I will probably not have time tomorow either.I had to finish a bathroom this morning , then my kids wanted to finish the garden we started , after that my son was begging me to change the tire tube on his motorcylce that came in on thursday .

Dude I ended up messing this tube up I punctured it trying to install it . Those
tires are super hard its a 10" tire on an 50cc LEM .

I am going to take it to a tire shop ,I will not try it again.

iamsuperbleeder

lol, that's a tiny tire! I bet it don't stretch too much to pull it off the rim

RMA

yup very little stretch to it. My son was bumbed but oh well !! its been flat for about 2 months already.

Not to hijack but I recently put on trail gear rear lift kit. I used the 4 inch springs with six inch shackles. I used the shocks I had from when I had my procomp 4 inch lift blocks in the back. I mounted the new shock mounts at 10 and 2 just like wabbit said above. I now have about 7 inches of compression travel and 3 inches of drop travel available from the shocks. I assume that means they are 10 inch shocks. (10 inches of travel) Does that sound about right.
