My dobinson c59-675V springs were hitting factory gas tank skid even with factory rear upper/lower links. I run icon 56550 long travel shocks, timbren bumpstops, and OCD rear sway bar links on a Nolathane HD rear sway bar. Factory pan hard bar.Interesting that your spring hits. I have a similar setup with dobinsions rear links (never replaced my uppers but them as well) and my springs don't touch there. My driveshaft hit the tank skid though but I have full budbuilt skids
Yes, I have the welded eimKeith PCKDo you have a panhard bar correction kit installed?
Intersting, i'll defintily have to watch this on my rig. I think it is pretty close.Yes, I have the welded eimKeith PCK
Haha! It’s just kissing it so might not be a big problem…and I have red dobinson c59-701Vs waiting in the wings for when I install the JW Offroad half swing out tire carrier.Intersting, i'll defintily have to watch this on my rig. I think it is pretty close.
Big hammer to the gas tank skid might also fix it.
Good to know on the rear sway bar removal being a cause for the rear drive shaft to hit the gas tank skid.If you keep your rear sway bar you shouldn't have drive shaft contact with the gas tank. I removed mine and have been too lazy to reinstall. I got an 80 a while back so not planning on offroading the GX much anymore. East coast rocks have smashed up the underside pretty good and the 80 is better in that environment
And had to stop at In and Out on the way home! So good!Came down a steep hill and stuffed my front wheel to where it rubbed on the upper liner pretty loudly.
I got off to check but I had advanced like a foot after hearing the running and was surprised how much flex my rear had.
This is with rear HD sway bar and no front sway bar.View attachment 3788873View attachment 3788874View attachment 3788875View attachment 3788876View attachment 3788877
