The screws holding the leafs... take the screws thread them from the bottom and use locknuts on top. Tighten the nuts down and back them off 1/4 turn or so. It will help with the flex.

Looking good...

Re: Rolandrockshop's TF2 Build ..FINALLY!!
 

Good to know..
"thumbsup"

Thank ya sir..

now if Rc4wd would just get restocked on what I need for the axles..;-)

Re: Rolandrockshop's TF2 Build ..FINALLY!!
 

I been told to skip the red leafs. Try building your own leafs. Start collecting different sets and build one that works for your truck.

Ultimately.. if you can track down chino63 military wrap springs those would be the best setup.

Love the color and wheel & tire combo! Just needs scale hardware everywhere.

Re: Rolandrockshop's TF2 Build ..FINALLY!!
 

You must be speaking of the helical gears, waiting for my email notification also.

That makes 3 of us^^^^

Great looking spot, I wish I had some of that moss rock for my ongoing landscape project.

Gonna use the body I have now as a trail beater body.
And fix up the Mojave body that came with for more scale details.
