I didn't mean to infer that you were cheap and I'm sorry if you took it that way. Yes, I believe Yokohama Motors has the good Japanese made ones...
If you want to cheap out and spend $6 plus shipping instead of $21 with shipping that's up to you. Personally, I think the more contact you have...
Been away from the forum and working on the mini way too long. Once the snow melted some around the time of my last post we were able to drive...
I know this is an old thread but its still getting lots of hits. My own home brewed solution didn't work out last year, so I ordered some...
I actually have read your build thread. Cool truck. I bet it works well with those tires off road. I have a set of ATV tires for mine, but they...
I've read your entire build thread. Very impressive and my hat's off to you! I was sorry to see you rolled your truck as I got toward the end. I...
I don't want to sound like I'm putting people down, I appreciate the input. My background is more hardcore 4 wheeling than the minis are probably...

MORE TRAVEL! I know I'm jumping ahead of myself and your potential replies to my prior posts. In any case, has anyone taken the stock OEM...
OK Larry, so how did it work? Hmmmm, good question dear readers. Honestly, I would have to say that it not only didn't work nearly as well as I...

Thanks for the input guys! Spaner, I tried the ratchet straps, but the hooks on all mine are too big and the end that is fixed to the lever...
It went so easy coming apart I figured it would only take about 15 minutes to get the new spring and strut jacked back up into place and bolted...
New bling! [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] After rereading some of the posts on this type of installation, I decided not to cut the...
I then reinstalled the strut and removed the large center nut from the top of the strut. I let the jack down and everything came apart nicely. The...
Jacked the truck and removed the passenger side wheel/tire. I put a jack under the A-arm and held it up while I unbolted the 3 top nuts on top of...
I decided to do the springs today. Piece of cake, right? I measured my current height for a base line (I have 1.5" spacers in the front). I...
Thanks for the input men. Can't wait to get the parts and the time to do it.
I've seen that bearing mod along with one done by Spaner with a brass insert. Right now I have a friend working on making one from scratch from a...
