Out at Lucerne yesterday for the M.O.R.E 250 found some deep silt out at Anderson dry lake bed that being said at the end of the day my filter was pretty much fucked do pre filters help at all with silt ? Or does fine stuff pass right by them

 

cool video. Glad i didnt hit that lol. I was at the race too. Didn't see too many tacos. You might have seen me up on the hill south of the start finish

That was my first time there i liked it. but stoddard wells side of barstow is my fav

 

Right on. I was camped right above the start finish. I saw you wheeling around from camp a couple times. You going to be at the next race in Barstow to ?

 

Bolted some stuff on:



Fixed alignment and limit straps achieved.

 

Where did you buy this on the internet?

 

Arn't your springs on the wrong side of your clevis?

 

Straps, clevis and mount from trail gear. Steel plate from Amazon. Welding, cutting and fab by me

The solid LCA mount is 3/8 steel with a 14mm hole. And a moog grease fitting bolt in it.

 

I don't think so, it keeps the bolt pulled tight to the mount. On the other side and that little spring is getting crushed by my 600# coil over.

Also that would mean the bolt on the clevis sliding up and down, making noise.

 

You are better off just pulling the spring and running a nut top and bottom so the clevis is solid mounted. Those spring mounted ones always end up loose and rattle etc. That top nut will move around on ya' if you don't run a jamb nut on top of it.

 

Yeah love the night races. Only thing that will stop me is the weather. i went to the freedom 250 one year and it was 125 out. Not good

 

Go hang out with your LT buddies.

 

Didn't think of adding a nut below the mount. We'll see how much noise these make. Thatay be the answer.

I did add a jam nut, used a nylon washer insert nut, for doubled 'dont fucking move '

 

I'm a long way from LT. But some day.

 

Definitely gonna wanna double nut the top of that clevis

 

Nice ya haven't been to a night race yet seems fun cause Barstow in July can suck. That should be my first trip out after the bedcage is done so should be a good time. I'm going to be out there camping with a bunch of buddy's

 

Damn, you weren't messing around with those tabs, 3/8" is SOLID, nice work! Did your DK arms come with the tabs, or did you have to add them?

 

Also, is that where your bumps need to be?

 

DK armed come with them, unless you special order without.

 

No, I need to add the spacers before I romp on it hard. However I wasn't getting any contact with the old arms and bumps, or using all my up travel, before the new arms. So spacers are the last part to go on.
