Not sure if this is really hardcore or not but here it is.

I'm SOA with Alcan FJ60 length springs, flipped for WB, which have the free arch relaxed, in the rear of my 40. I was told the Alcans would use ⅝" bolts. They just seem to fit fairly loose, I expected a much tighter fit. I used Ruffstuff spring and shackle mounts. On the shackle mount in the back I really like Ruffstuffs bushings with the sleeve. Things are just way too loose for my liking on the ⅝" bolt through the Alcan bushings.

Kind of the same issue up front. I flipped my stock 40 springs for WB and a SR. So with Ruffstuff it's 9/16" bolts which are more loose than the original 15mm pins.

Anyone have any comment on this? Can't think of anything to tighten that up.

Lose the sleeve in the bushings and size hole as needed. Sleeve in bushings is asking for PITA on later disassemble.
