    Stubby socket, as in not a deep socket. Normally socket sets are broken down into regular/stubby and deep, as depicted below.
    As for the 4 14mm bolts on the block...no. That's the bracket the motor mount connects to. There's a single (17mm IIRC) bolt that connects the motor mount to the bracket on the block.

    Ahhh really? Damn man. I couldn't seem to get a socket to hook up. Was using a 17mm.

    But. I shall try again.

    Thanks for the help Jason. Wish the motor mount were as easy as the freaking tranny mount sheesh

    Again, more prep for Moab. Re-working shit up front.
    TC completely under rated wheel travel. I drilled out a hole in my core support for the UCA uniball bolt. Shock is the limiting factor both up and down. 13" of wheel travel my ass. You can do the math yourself. TC FTW :cool:

    No. Why?
    I said that the shock is the limiting factor up and down. Meaning I cycled the suspension with the shock in there.

    I have the same problem. The shock limits my up travel by 2" inches. However I run out of down travel when the uca runs out of misalignment :cool:

    If the shock is limiting your travel, wouldn't getting a longer shock built allow you to get your full possible travel? I'm not sure I understand.

    longer shock would mean longer compressed length thus limiting uptravel even more.

    I don't really have a problem.
    I"m less than a mm from misalignment metal to metal both bump and droop. The hole in the core support (and shortening my bumps a little bit) is all I needed to get the extra inch of uptravel I was looking for.

    But if you're limited up by 2" and have that much droop, it sounds like you have the wrong shocks. The Burg kit doesn't use a standard 8" stroke shock. It's a special order where the collapsed length is supposed to be 14.3" instead of 16"

    Shock is perfect. While it's the limiter, a bigger shock isn't going to let me get any more travel out of the front, even with an engine cage. Misalignment spacers are just barely shy of metal to metal.

    True....unless engine cage.

    The only benefit the 10's would give me is dual rate springs.
    Would like it, but not gonna do it...too much rework and money

    Ah, I see. Looks like you have a nice amount of travel up front anyways :)
