The shock adjuster would be easier to reach facing inward I would think

@71Cuda A couple of questions.....What brand is the front suspension set-up ? Does it have a front sway bar ? Would you be willing to take a picture of the sway bar laying on the floor ? or installed if it's too late ......

The reason I'm asking is because I have an older Control Freak front suspension that looks very similar. However mine is missing the front sway bar, and Control Freak no longer makes them.....I'm looking for a replacement that will fit.

Okay, it looks like 39 1/2" eye to eye....correct ?
Ahhhh shit....I just went to the shop in my PJ's to measure my eye to eye of the Control Freak set-up and it's about 41"

Time to man up and use Randy's trailer hitch receiver trick to spread them.

I know the Alterktion K frame is very popular but there only downfall I see is they have to use a shorter shock and spring set up due to there design with the upper shock mount which amounts to a stiffer ride and limited travel, but everything looks very nice.

I finished this one this weekend. It was very slick. Your RMS looks very nice as well. I see they all seem to share the same components.

anlauto · May 07, 2018, 04:11:11 AM

I wonder what that sway bar is eye to eye ?

Mymcodebee · May 07, 2018, 04:40:57 AM

I'll check for you tonight Alan.
