sorenson +2/+1 racing arm Install and Review

[EX LONERIDER]

Ok, so i finally got around to installing these arms.

I have to say that installing these arms was everything less than pleasant. The finish is nice. Powdercoat is nice. The fit however, was slightly off.

The holes for the shock bolts were under-sized so i had to drill em out. The way the bushings are designed, they have to be pressed in or very elaborately squeezed in by use of a long bolt and washers. also the sleeves for the bushings are undersized as well as the retaining bolts.

Overall the install pas a pain and unless you had some patience and the right tools, these were not bolt in ready out of the box. :grr:

anyhow, here are some before/after shots.

looks factory colorwise and stuff. Never heard of them bummer they required so much work. I'm still yet to figure out why compaies are still making +1 forward for the 400ex when it doesnt improve handling it slightly makes it worse.

im assuming they make em slightly longer to improve higher speed handling not sure. but as i went up the street it just felt kinda weird?:ermm:

yea, it took me a while to get around to it cus im also in process of bagging my truck so alot of spare time was being devoted to it. i finally had some down time where i wasnt working on the truck.

+2's should help out alot in the dunes for how aggressively i ride. i dont jump it really but i do like to haul butt and carve the bowls :D i may have to widen the rear now since it kinda looks funky.....
