You should come to my sensitivity classes with me. You might gain something out of it.

That's OK. I changed my minimum requirements for my friends. No more friends with metal in their faces.

Don't worry, FrankyRizzo has a tendancy to lower his standards like most people change their underwear. He'll be your friend again...

I ran my rig with no front springs for a couple of comps and it worked ok but I think some kind of limiter is in order to keep the front from unloading on climbs. Also, where did you get the alum. axle "c's" from? I am interested in a set or three...

Cool, Thanx! I'm gonna order them for one truck now and try em out!
I tore my 72 Chevy SW2 apart today and found my first broken axle shaft. Broke alot of c's on the housing but never an axle shaft.

yeah i like them, theyre a PITA to install but well worth it. ive yet to break a TLT shaft, i broke TXT shafts back when i ran a TXT, but ive been doing pretty good on the TLT so far. theyre tough, my truck has taken some pretty bad falls but theyre holding up great.

Those axle C's from fat-rock.com are awesome. The first day I put mine on I TRIED to break them and they held up to everything I threw at them(bad rolls down 15ft cliffs, etc.). As far a limiting straps, I have ran something like that and it worked awesome....just seemed like overkill to me for some reason and I took it off. I think I may go put it back on now.....

You can post them directly by using the "manage attachments" button when you make a post so they look like this.
