    I'm in the same boat as you on that one!! I like going fast but without a cage or even with it there is a limit!

    they aren't worth the money . its something like a 3/4 uniball in the center of the sleeve that dosent last very long. they get very noisy and you cant use a 9/16 or 3/4" bolt for the strength needed at the front eye. for a lightweight crawler i might use them in the front eyes but i would leave the rear eyes urethane bushings.

    i recommend urethane bushings in the leafspring eyes and delrin at the shackle/frame mounting points.

    Why not?!

    And well, as far as I know DMZ,Giant & Defined(most common kits) use an inverted Shackle (same as stock design). You could probably use some sort of generic shackle to work with the rear. But remember the rear of the frame is dove tailed like this \ / so you have offset the shackle mount!

    Just curious but why do some people dislike engage so much? I've been to their shop a few times and the quality looks pretty good. TC def has cleaner welds.

    Tw is really the only place they are really popular. They are some sites that have thread titled "engage sucks" just look around and form your own personal opinion.
