Limiting straps?

2 degree shims did it. Pinion angle ok and the drag link has 1/8" separation from the spring at full droop. Thanks for the input

Flexes good. How do you like those KM2s?

I was gonna ask the same question! I see these every day and have been really curious to know how they worked.

I like them for what I use them for. Fairly quiet on the street and good traction on packed dirt and sandy type conditions. Pretty affordable too. Don't do much rock, so I'm not sure about that.

Looking good! Did you weld the shims in?

No I did not. I used some aluminum ones I had lying around. I plan to buy steel ones to weld, although I don't see why it matters frankly if the u bolts are tight. I know the common wisdom is to weld them though.
