    I'm so very glad you didn't make that an acronym.

    I'd have had to unfriend you and unsubscribe and tell you to pull up your damn pants and straighten out your hat. :D

    Did you take any measurements on your travel with the TC arms?

    Latest iteration of the other LCAs. 1.25" heims, 2" OD .25 wall DOM for both the arm and the bushing, all from Ruffstuff. The offset is just winging it based on what I was seeing with my other links binding and looking at the MT ones without any measurements. Currently at 27.5" eye to eye, but not fully welded so I can make some adjustments if needed once I get them mounted up and cycle the suspension.

    I hope not, that is a worry with non-captured springs though. I am going to add a spacer to the passenger spring though to help with rattling and put a bit more tension on it at droop.

    What's this about kids? :p

    Not enough drool in here yet, so: :drool:


    When are we jumping it, or are you not man enough? :D

    Yeah, made me sad to bail on the swap, but the DKs put the smile back on my face. My CC is sad though.

    And no, still no jumping damnit!

    I know there were no gains in droop, but I think uptravel will increase, never took any before measurements though.

    Just leave the keys in it while you're making Robdogs and don't worry about a thing. :D

    I think the proper solution would be a limit strap. I plan to add some once I redo the rear shocks and get the rear setup "finalized". I haven't had or come close to having an issue with this, but the springs are hand loose at full droop. I think the spacer on the pass side will fix things up though.

    After you help fab up my rear shock relocation, let's head to the North Park Sand Dunes. We'll jump my truck (right after you jump yours).

    Haha, I think that might be my up limit as well if I don't put the bump spacer in, or at least until the BFH makes another appearance.

    Deal!(not) And technically I have jumped it, check out this sweet air from last fall, at least 2 tires separated from the sand.
