    I thought you meant the lower bolt.


    Just got one side welded in. Forgot the resi mount, but thats not too hard after the fact. Dont judge my welds. They're not pretty, but they're strong :pout::muscleflexing:

    If anyone is in the market for a mid travel setup, I’ve got one for sale on here. Just needs a rebuild.

    hey, you’re putting in the work and welding is an obtained skill. I applaud your efforts. It should work out just fine even if they aren’t pretty.

    Do you have a rotatable body cap and why not just move the resi a bit?

    Flip the bypasses to the other side and turned around. That tune will nest inside. I had the same issue and went away after that. But not after it spun the adjuster off.

    Has anyone found that their coilovers soften up significantly once "broken in"? I installed Kings this past winter and admittedly didn't get off pavement until just recently. Now I've been hammering some forest service roads and seems that the suspension feels much more juicy than it did a few months back. Not necessarily a bad thing, I can close the compression to compensate.

    Welds looking a bit better today. Although I tried a different side shock, and it didn't look like it would fit without rubbing. I did not test fit the wheel this time. Only need to burn in one more thing and then it will be mounted to the frame. May even have time to call @TOTAL CHAOS and ask for some advice..

    @cdex8357 its 89 (high of 92) and 58% humidity in VA today.. i seem to pick the right days to do outside work with no shade.

    Damn my 1 car garage townhouse that doesn't fit anything!
