Outcast Bending Shock Towers

[Buck]

Anyone else bending shocks mine keep bending

Tighten your droop screws to limit down-travel of the a-arms.
Just as you land from a jump, there is a brief moment when the car is still somewhat 'un-sprung', and suspension force other than straight up and down right before compression is effectively adding lateral torque to the shaft, which as the suspension travels back up is enough is enough to bend or break the shaft.

Here is the tower to tower brace I made for my Kraton. The good thing about the Outcast is that the body sits, higher than the shock towers. I did not test the body fit on the Kraton, and since had to cut a strip out of the body, right down the middle of the bed, so I could get the body to fit. Now I'm looking for the Outcast body posts and Mounts so I can lift the next body over the brace.
