installed extended studs for top-out spacers?
Hey gang, the OME's finally arrived and I am assembling the bamachem suspension special. My question is, after you pounded the extended studs in and went to re-asseble everything, did you use loc-tite as per the Rev-Tek directions that Andy links too, or not. I have some, but wonder if loc-tite will mess up ny-lock nuts.
Bring the knowledge.

I take it you didn't use any on the nut that holds the shock assembly together (the single one in the middle, can't think what its called...)

Yeah, I wasn't gonna put it on the heads of the studs, but on the nuts (I can wait on that since its too cold for install). You didn't put it on the nut that goes on the shock shaft?

If you use loc-tite, don't use red cause you won't ever get them off if you need to...use the blue...and it now comes in a nice and easy to use "chap stick" type application, which is much less messy than the liquid tube stuff.
Good luck.

No red? bummer, looks like I might have to wait until morning to finish assembly.
Do you guys think I can get away without using it, particulary on the nut on the shock shaft?

Thanks for the input fellers, they're all together now.
I'd rather ask a lot of dumb questions now than have something go wrong for a dumb reason later.
