wow for a pair? where?

 

[Kirby N.]

A Local Buletin Board Forum, craigs list, etc. I think I have seen 2 sets in the past few months for sale. It is nice living in colorado, there is always wheelers with used stuff for sale around. Have you checked ebay?

 

[IZwack]

Ah gotcha, yeah I've checked E-bay and others (craigslist), but no luck. But I'm not too worried about the shocks, cauz I kind of prefer to have new ones.

Male models usually are materialistic.

Most models are So are Senators - of which I am

Sooo FROADER - got any d44 "C"s for me?
Mine have acquired a "C" deficiency syndrome.

UPDATE & EDIT: won a set of inner "C"s from Ebay - item 8072285889
So ball joint sleeve issue resolved stupid thing :fire:

Here, this is the old inner "C" -----> C

If I run accross some Ill let you know...

Thanks Kirby N!

EDIT: design concept changes reflecting Kirby N's suggestion of moving the upper link to the driver's side for better pinion angle through out the suspension cycle:

Anyone know what the difference is between a "reverse offset wheel" and a standard wheel?

I'm more interested in the backspacing - just making sure backspacing on a "reverse offset wheel" is measured the same way as a regular wheel - cauz right now, a "reverse offset wheel" is the only 15x10 wheel I can find with 8x6.5 lug pattern and 2-inch to 2.5-inch of backspacing.

Dude, if you don't know, i'm not going to tell you.

 

[section525]

Reverse offset means they are for rear steering vehicles.

 

[IZwack]

you freaks!!! its like talking to chimps in here!!

 

[IZwack]

BTW Kirby N., I just bought the front shocks today.. 2.5 air shocks with 16-inches of wholesome goodness (that's what _____'s mom said last night, ohhh snap!)

But if you do run across used air shocks, even if they are the 2.0's, please let me know, I still have the back to suspend

AND quit editing my posts! :frustrate

Reverse offset wheels have less backspacing and more dish, which may interfere with some brake and wheel opening configurations.

 

[IZwack]

Hey thanks for copying and pasting from Summit

But seriously, what does that mean?
Cauz typically, the less backspacing, the less interference between the caliper and the back edge of the wheel.

Hmm, now that I think about it, maybe they're talking about the wheel well of the vehicle when they mention "wheel opening". Cauz I guess if you moved the wheel out far enough, eventually a normal car's tire would rub against the wheel well.

 

[FROADER]

That's what I was thinking...

Maybe the measurement goes from the outside of the wheel to the mounting plate instead of the inside of the wheel.

 

[railman]

you two are getting two different wheel characteristics mixed up to mean the same

Backspacing = backside of rim to mounting surface

Offset = mounting surface in relation to centerline of rim

hence "positive" offset is like a front wheel drive car where the mounting surface is pushed towards the outer "Face" of the wheel

and "reverse" is a deep dish, where the mounting surface is to the inside of the wheel centerline

Hey thanks for replying railman.
