Excellent, thank you Matt.

Curious about this step. Why is it there, and why is it no longer needed? What's the risk of not plugging? Cheers.

I've no idea, it's just something I say to make myself sound more erudite and mature, like I wasn't born in the 80's.

... and glad to just handle that for you as well, the ordering/procurement. I've a rolladex of vendors I trust. Just let me know how I can help! Calvin

OK! I'm not advocating leaving TOB/fork disassembled, just not clicking the fork's metal clips into the round "stud" inside the BH. That way it's fully assembled but allowed to float down for a hot minute. ...I'll try to add some pictures.

Thanks! I suspected that, and took the same approach. Unfortunately for me it's a holiday weekend and the typical ~1 day turnaround from the dealership is more like 5, but that's life. Happy Holiday. Calvin

Hey Ian - what era/model are those leaf springs?

Old thread. Still have this?

Thanks TJ. @NickAtEndMotive is a pro and moves fast, but if he's too busy or hits a wall I'll step in!
