The instructions werent the best, it totally left out the spacer needed to go under the upper arm hinge pin support thing. The standard size shorty battery is a super tight fit. I would need to sand down the CF by a lot to get enough clearance for strapping tape to pass though. Its so tight right now I think I wouldnt even need to tape my battery down and it wouldnt move at all. Not entirely sure if its the brand of battery Im using or LP battery would have a better fit. Also, a standard shorty battery pack would interfere with the rear pod travel. But this isnt such a big deal as the car would bottom out long before.
All in all, aside from missing parts and unclear instructions, Im satisfied with the kit. Have to wait till I hit the tracks to come to a more solid conclusion.
I am curious, how much slop do the upper king pin balls have in the ball cups? The stock ones have a ton of play, everyone looks at it an goes wtf, all I can say is it's working really well
Also if your running a regular shorty you won't need all that extra weight I added to mine.
