    Yup, nothin else. I left them kinda tight and i left them that way so you can have all the threads to use just in case but looking at it now you have room to turn. it. Either turn it when its in the mount or in a big vise.

    okay guys, so I have most of you know I am having rear axle wrap, also when I Drive on the street, & I hit the gas it feels like one side of the truck rises up and the other side stays put. I just measured the distance from the front spring hanger to the rear shackle pivot and they are a quarter inch off. Would that be the cause for both of the above issues?

    obviously it does need fixed, I am just curious as to what issues it is going to fix as well.

    What is everyone's experience with FOA shocks? Are they just as good as king/fox/swayaway and the like?

    Yes, that will have a lot to do with it....You might be able to get away with augering out the holes a little and welding washers on...

    FOA stands for Fox Of Asia. If you are flat broke and REAAAAALY need shocks, go for it. Buy the best shocks you can afford. Check out Radflo, they have reasonably priced shocks that are equal quality to fox and king- http://www.radflo.com/moto/default

    Radflos are even more expensive than Fox for the application I need… And almost twice as expensive as the FOA shocks i found. But thats why I asked in here about them

    Edit: and ADS are even more spendy than the raffles… I'm going in the opposite direction here haha
