- The bump stop contacts the cast piece over the axle tube between the springplate and the brake backingplate... might be referred to as end casting?


what kind of wheel travel numbers are you getting?

- I'm gonna guess around 9"... let's see how close I am Wink

Thanks guy's, I'm glad you like it.

Dave maybe I'll swing by that pit if I have a chance.


The wheel travel on this car is 6" up front 9" in the rear. The rear bump stop hits the top of the end-casting.


The lug nuts on the end of the front arms really help when you take it apart, no more pry-bar or smashed fingers. They also keep the small leafs from working there way out the side.

As far as the front end it is a silcock beam, They can be bought straight from him. You can find him on Race-Dezert.com as doug969.
