    I thought this was pretty cool cause j59s are just stock hangers and shackles most of the time so i thought this would be pretty sweet for the money/work[/QUOTE]

    He may have set it up for a 16" shock but only used 12" of the shock. When I bought my truck it was on J-59s with a 16" bypass that barely used any of the shock. I went to a SUA set-up with a Deaver F67 pack, 12" TC shackle and a 16" shock. Then I went to a E-30 pack to get the most out of the shock. I wouldnt waste the money on that J-59 pack.

    Which of the TC gussets is going to be better/stronger? W/ or W/out sway?

    The sway option looks beefier to me, but then why make the non-sway version? Just b/c you can use it w/ a stock/higher backspaced wheel?

    agreed, we use them on the majority of our builds even when the sway bar is removed if were not doing a completely boxed spindle like what i have

    hoping one of you guys can lead me in the right direction...

    I am looking for a suspension seat for my 4 year old kid to put in my SR1 rhino.
    i need it to be 16 inches wide.... the only one i can find that is that small, or smaller is way too short! from the bottom of the seat to where the harnesses come in is only 13 inches, and my kid sitting down is about 16-17 inches from the ground to the top of his shoulders.

    I only have 60 inches to work with side to side. my current seats are 22 inches wide... i probably need to sell them.

    Just thought I would pass this along to anyone having bump steer issues, never in a million years did i think this would make a huge difference but, I did this two days ago and have been impressed on how much better the truck drives. Thanks to another member who shared this link with me:

    Ya I say check it out, only took me about 2 1/2 hours from start to finish, super simple and the write up is phenomenal makes it super simple. Only pain in the ass part in my opinion was getting the springs back on I highly suggest needle nose vice grips.
