R50 SFD QUESTION

[808R50]

Poking around on the lift tonight doing some other repairs...

 

The more I look at this thing the more straight forward a SFD looks. I'm confident I can fab this thing up myself, but I'm not 100% on the strut spacers.

 

One of the threads I found a while back explained the angles. I can't seem to find it now, and to be honest it was a little hard to understand.

 

My rigs Got a 2 inch, I'd like to get an additional 4, so I'm going to assume I need to build a 4 inch spacer(???). If so, whats the formula for figuring angles to keep caster & camber in check?

 

Can somebody knowlegable walk me through this?

 

Many Mahalos!!!

Just buy the kit from Krypton Fab it's straight forward not expensive and you could do 6" with your lift springs

I concidered buying the Krypton Kit... It's reasonably priced no doubt. It just looks really simple to build and If I can do it myself, I'd prefer to do it that way. I have all the tools & equipment & enjoy the challenge.

 

Thanks Jose,

 

That's exactly the post I was looking for. Knew I'd read up on this before, just couldn't remember where.

 

Mahalos,

Ps... Mountainbiker, Your rig looks sick with the SFD. Congrats on a job well done.

I want to say its either an 8 or 10 degree angle on the top of the spacer? Im not really 100 percent sure.

8.5 degrees
