Master never went dry either. Probably going to bleed it next anyway. I assume the gravity bleed I’m doing now won’t do shit.

This hack of a trick worked like a charm. Pull the plunger out of the master to let the air out the top

No let downs all weekend.

RF bump stop vacated as expected. Front shocks are NOT up to the task with stock springs for my desired pace.

TJ lift springs should help droop, and that’ll help these shocks do better. Decker says he has some fox 2.0 s, waiting on a price and status.
Fancy bump stops need installing up front. Rear appears to never have touched the bump stops so not worrying about that.

Need to flatten some pinch seams in the front fenders, minor tire cuts.

Biggest task will be some sweet bumpers and some bed paint. Winning!

Second place out of three due to Eric’s flat.

nice work.  i have those progressive coils (unknown origin) and the set of TJ RE express 4 or 5" that i just took out of my truck.  i think the coils im running now are rough country 4" and they are about 1.5" more lift over the RE express ones^


also have a lot of JK springs but not quiet the same lower attachment.  FYI, 3/4x8" bolts are what holds the spring on through the beam- crap shoot if you can get it out with out cutting or replacing.....  had to cut on the new ranger

I got the only set of alloy 14x9s on ebay when I got mine. I found none new. maybe fox body mustang forums?
the 15" wheel UTV tires are 27s as opposed to my 26s. I'd expect they have a slightly higher weight rating but I don't remember if that's actually true. There's a table on the maxxis site.

I don't feel like I need more ride height, I just need more droop so the landing has more distance to absorb. An inch spacer would help that too. If I'm keeping any of the metal inner fender I don't think I can do more than an inch of spacer, they rub at full crash as it is.

Decker's shocks are new-out-of-box 2.0x10 Bro front base tune. $300. I told him to bring them to line mountain. figure on slapping those in along with bump stops and a spring change after that race.

I am surprised they don't have a "must be dot" tire spec.
