RE anti spring wrap perches

[jeepinstien]

Has anyone tried the anti spring wrap pads from RE when they did SOA conversion? I made track bars for mine but I was curious if they work or not.

they can only work until the spring weakens at the endpoint of the perch... they do help reduce wrap for a while... but just like stock perches, they do put stress on SOME point in the spring, what these do is place the stress at another point further out in the spring and attempt to remove leverage from torque... if you have traction bars, you should not need them, but they will not hurt

I was trying to get rid of the traction bars. I tend to use them more for a skid plate. I guess I need a different design.

you can get a high clearance bar that consists of a single bar above the axle on each side, or one in the center area

I'm thinking about making double bar that attaches in the center over the pumpkin.

that should work well... but make sure you design it to work with flex
