If you can, get a spacer in between the tabs.. I used the threaded end of a spare link, cut to size an screwed in on both ends.. delrin would work as well.. Did you get the rear links spaced out? I see you got the front done.. Also, if you get rear lockouts, you can use the aluminum links from there to lengthen ur rear uppers, I believe that was a big help with the TT as well. Getting ur rear axle pointed in the air.. Last edited by winnerone23; 10-15-2012 at 09:34 PM. | |

Lockouts.. they lock ur rear axles straight.. it gets rid of the chubs an knuckles an links the keep them straight. An gives you a straight axle unit an less to catch on.. then gives you spare chubs an knuckles in case you break one till you get aluminum ones.. Rmdw Lincoln lockers, go in ur diff gears to lock it in 4wd all the time. |

OK kinda got the axle facing the sky. Also what can I do for the mean time to get those lcc shocks on without that 6mm spacer? Also found the lockouts but they are the same price if I get them from the dealer then eBay. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 |

23.88$ for lockouts on ebay.. you can get them for that price from a dealer? Up to you then.. For the Lcc shocks.. a long bolt, some spacers an a length of nitro fuel line.. take the bolt, put a washer or spacer on, slide fuel line on bolt, slide shock over the fuel line, 6-8mm or so piece of it, then slide a 6mm spacer or ball link on.. bolt it into the chassis.. The outside washer keeps the fuel tube from sliding over the head of the bolt/screw , the fuel line keeps the shock in place an gives it flex like being on a ball, then the spacer on the inside next to the chassis, gives the shock room to move.. plus you will need a 2mm piece of fuel tube on both sides of the shock, even with, the Jeepindoug stand off shock mounts.. it keeps the shock centered on the mount.. |

OK so put the lcc shocks on and this is what back looks like. And that's without a battery. It just sags and doesn't have much rebound or fully extend. Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2 |

You mean like this? Also I noticed that the LCc shocks are shorter then the stock shocks. When I put the shocks on like this I lost about an inch of clearance compared to the stock ones. Is that right? Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2 |
