It will come down to the upper link truss. Currie and Dlux trusses utilize about a 10mm longer upper link than stock. You can use a Jato end (not recommended) if your links are too short. I would just run the proper upper links though as Jatos are prone to breakage and when they break, they can often break other things. Its just best to get the correct link length. FYI, I have options on my site for both lengths. | |

If that is the case, count me in on rear trailing and upper links. | |

| Re: Wheelbase vs trailing arm length
Only problem is that I dont know exactly how much shorter a TH trailing arm is vs Yeti, Bomber or Wraith. This is the only piece of info I would need. Wraith is .5" shorter than Bomber FYI. |

Are the Yeti rear/lower trailing arms the same size as the Bomber?

Will you guys use a sway bar with the wraith rear? If so, is there a bolt on option?

| Re: Wheelbase vs trailing arm length
Yes from Axial with three different stiffness options too I believe. I don't know the part number. Dlux's universal works as well but needs to be cut to fit. Oops, I thought you were asking about running a sway bar on a Wraith. You will be able to use the options that are available for the Bomber from Dlux, Axial, and others but you may have to run it mounted on the rear "bumper" facing forward and attached to the trailing arms. With Wraith TAs or shorter twin hammers TAs, the axle might be too far forward to run a sway bar with the links attached to the axle. Last edited by SCREAMER; 01-06-2016 at 10:34 PM. |

No but I'm also underdriven in the rear which pretty much eliminated torque twist for me even when the wheelbase was stock length.

| Re: Wheelbase vs trailing arm length
Finally, I should have a ton in my hands tomorrow morning. I will have the typical Bomber/Yeti, Wraith and I will make some of these Twin Hammer length. I am just hesitant to make more than a couple of the Twin Hammer since I dont know how well they sell. If you want Twin Hammer length, speak up so you dont have to wait. |

Also, I would plan on making these 116mm eye to eye according to the thread MNorby started. If you need a different length other than that, let me know.

Can anyone tell me the length difference between the stock bomber and the twin hammers? Curious on my wheelbase changes. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk |
