I've got a GForce axle and 1" spacers in the front. This thing is very stable and I've been dialing in the suspension and its really helped with the harshness of the ride from when I bought it.

HydraDynamics(i-shock) has +2 a-arms on clearance for $200.00.
I bought a set and they work great. You won't need LT shocks. Shock points stay the same. 05-newer only .

No, never had an issue. I torque the axle nut to about 150lbs/ft and insert the cotter key. Not one issue.

Yea, you would think that would be it,but its not. After a race, those hubs are loose! Not just barely loose, but looosssseeee!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't race but they are beat on pretty good. Maybe your splines are worn and you get too much chucking?

ive never had a problem with my lonestar axle...never came loose at all. if you tighten them correctly and put a sh#tty cotter key/pin in it, your good to go

That might be. I was just talking to a buddy and he informed me to slap some JB weld on the splines. Im thinking,"How the hell do I get them off". He said a nice propane torch with a hammer will get them off with no issue. I guess Ill try it and see what happens.

Well took mine out today you lose a bit on the tight turns but is way more stable over all the track was really rough from the little bit of rain we got...they are ez to install setting the toe and camber is fun lol So over all for the price and they are made in the U.S. well worth the money I also use the p51 I shocks I would rate them the same as new stock ones...not much to gain there...If I had it to do over I would just get the arm's and a set of new 450 shocks off here and try those

I got TCS shocks up front, but the a-arms are setup for stock shock mount. So your stockers will fit. I like them. Are they the best??? Nope, but for the price, you cant bet them!
