    Yes, a few guys while bombin whoops have sent the misalignment spacer and bolt up through the inner fender.

    Appears thats how dirt logic built the upper. Each manufacturer is a bit different. He may never even see that issue especially if he doesn't go bombin whoops. Probably blow up the LCA or UCA bolt before the spindle or UCA go anyway.

    Yeah I definitely agree with that and just to make sure we're all on the same page, dirt logic is just the shock division of Fabtech. So Fabtech is still the manufacturer of the coil over

    Right now I do, but that's because I've got it set for just road conditions. But when it's time to take it off road ill crank the coils down a bit more and get about another inch out of it.

    I like them they are definitely better than stock with just a spacer that's for sure. For someone like me who uses it as a daily driver and takes it off road maybe once a month, it is perfect. Now I think for someone who wants the best off road performance there are other shocks that might do better. But for on road driving and just your typical off road trail driving these are a great choice.

    As for the bump stop, I have been looking into seeing what I could do to improve the bump stop. I found this and wondering if there was some way to apply it.

    That would be awesome if there were a way to run those upfront

    I know, honestly that's the solution I've been looking for, it's just finding a way to mount them properly.

    I'm sure there's a way you could cut and weld new brackets to the bumpstop DB

    So tried taking the swaybar off today and I stripped the allen screw that connects to the end link through the spindle. I believe my options are to 1. use vise grips to turn end link if that doesn't work 2. drill the allen screw out if possible?? If all fails ill just cut it off but would like to try any possible thing before I cut. Any suggestions? evenflow?
