All Gen II owners, did FFR send you the new front shock mount relocation mounts to correct shock problem. I have tried to contact FFR and no response.
Is this something I need to order from FFR or are they sending out to Gen II owners?
Could someone from FFR respond to this please.
Thanks
David

I have installed my relocation brackets on my Gen2 GTM Chasis and I am using C6 upper control arms, I have an issue that the spring is touching the inside of the upper control arm, twoards the front leg of the arm. The only way I can gain clearance is to have the front cam bolt turned with the bolt outwards and the rear mount turned inwards. This is only when the suspension is hanging however everytime you hit a pot hold the wheel will hang to its full extent should I worry about this or do others have the same happen. The problem goes away if I put a jack under the lower and push up any.

I don't recall anyone installing he fix as is and having it work. When you do your alignment the cam bolts will need to be manipulated to move the lower arm forward in order to get the ~6 degrees of caster most gen2s are getting. Chances are you will have to modify the fix to gain clearance through full suspension travel.

Thanks, This looks like it will work fine with the spacer. Anyone else notice when doing the air bleed from the shocks they wany to come out at different rates, I flipped mine upside down the right side up and I had two which pushed up real fast on their own and two that pushed up pretty slow, I thought they were all the same four shocks. Any insight?
