LR90 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I was considering putting longer shocks on the 90 and letting the rear springs dislocate or stretch a bit more but have noticed that even with the current +3" shocks the front uj of the prop is binding when the axle is hanging on the shocks (this is with stock shock mounts). So, all you guys and gals running +2s or longer with lowered shock mounts how have you solved this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR90 Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hmm, cheers Graham nice to see someone has seen and addressed the problem. Don't think I have an issue with length yet but my setup is pretty tame. Did you consider a centre check strap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I have an issue with length yet but my setup is pretty tame.Did you consider a centre check strap? No, when I went 3Link, I wanted as much movement as poss, so decieded on travel length & then worked backwards from there, I wouldnt go with as much movement again, ive found that i have too much drop front & rear, which doesnt help in certain situations ie Side slopes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 For now I'll live with it, got other things to spend the pennies on. Still toying with cutting the tub about as I'm not using all the available up movement yet but the procomps are coming up for replacment and it might have been nice to go for something longer, maybe with some of Gwyns mounts.

BANG , it let go big style. on examining it , it APPEARS to be cast and not forged! fit for SCRAPIRON!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
