|  Should I cut these tabs off?
Where te ARMS mount to the "Frame" there are black tabs under the arms. It seems like they would limit droop or flex. SHoudl they be cut off?

no, don't cut them off, they will just make the shocks pull apart easier. -Dalton |

no you dont need to cut those tabs just cut the ones on the rear axle that are under the blue flat arm where the axle pivits to get more flex.

There inside, on the axle portion, where the axle "piviot" meets the blue thing. They are little black stoppers next to the black pivioit | |

if i was to guess i would say...... BAM  that tab right thar. but don't cut the ones under the blue arms. the flex is cool but the shocks pulling apart gets old FAST.  |

yes, i think so, you can cut the tabs off without new shocks, just put limiting sraps along the length of the shocks so that it stops droop just before they pull apart, it's a lot cheaper than new shocks and surprisingly easy.  |

Even if you have savage shocks you should not cut them. I cut them and am running savage shocks, now the rear axle slides under the body when trying to get over a tough obstacle. I bought some "L" brackets and am going to try to mount them where the tabs were.

Savage shocks is one of the best Mod's you can do. do the belly up, cut the tabs, cut rear axle and run Savage Shocks. The 4 easiest mods to do.
