I never had a problem with the Gen 1 GrassCat that Justice now has. It has the Sr rear and SR coil springs. This could be that I never cranked the bars that much.
I don't know if Justice has raised it or not. Maybe he'll chime in.

with 3 80lbs bags of sand in the driver's seat Larry, shouldn't you use lard buckets instead of sand? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> John's an irritating little devil, isn't he. Have no idea where the sarcastic side of him comes from...

There's not a bad bone in him, but he has no conception of compassion. Never got any from the rest of the world, I guess...

He may not have gotten any, but he knows how to give. We need to hush or we'll embarass him...
I don't want him to call me an idiot again. I really pissed him off by being a dick...

Nate said bone <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Seriously, though... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> John, what do I do? I'd like the noise gone, but I don't want to cause further damage. KrzyDav did this, IIRC. He said something about running out of room on the bracket before he got enough effected change in the angle... Michael and Justice, I hear what you're saying. But, I also know what I'm hearing. Frickin weird... What to do, what to do...

Out of room? the trailing arm is over 2' long. The displacement that causes the angle change is what, 2" or so? The distance from the centerline of the axle shafts to the trailing arm bolt hole is what, 3-4", which would translate to about .2" of displacement there?

Uh sure. You totally lost me, Eddy. You forget that you're way smarter than the average Joe, or in this case, Larry...
