[QUOTE="TomDirt, post: 2109710, member: 57425"] "According to the internet", Trackmotive axles will strike the SVC billet aluminum collar, so I went back and removed them. SVC obviously cycled them with [B]oem[/B] axles, but unfortunately in [I]Raptor World, [/I] there's not enough compatability between other aftermarket suspension parts. I also wasn't aware the G2 coils' slightly larger diameter would contact BMS' tubular (G1 specific) UCA's. It's up to the FRF mob & other sources to figure out what combination of axles, limit straps, shocks, springs, & coil bucket mods will work. I guess it took TRR"s Baja Raptor Runs to report on the typical suspension failures from the [B]wrong [/B]combination of parts on G2's: [MEDIA=youtube]-Co8G7vyLdw[/MEDIA] The same thing happened when everybody started making Ford I-beam mods: it [I]started with[/I] a quick swap out of bent beams, radius arms, and coils & shocks, (which got you a very safe 12-14" of travel), and now you can buy a basically bolt-on version with 20" of clean travel, 8" wider track width, almost zero bump steer, and race-capable shocks. But it costs more than the truck, so there's that ;( [/QUOTE]
