    D2 Watts,flog out fixed

    I've been meaning to do this mod for a while, its now 9/10ths finished.
    I have gone through the right channels and have an engineer looking over the project which will also include a different suspension link setup.This just has to be manufactured and bolted up.
    Just thought Id share
    The Watts lowering mounts which drop the hight of the original by 50mm.Crush tubes will be fitted inside the originals where the bushes sat, but this frame is extremely strong.I have a new arm and bush set up which Ill take pics of when its bolted up. This will give the arms alot of freedom
    The reason behind all this is that with a large spring lift the watts bushes bind and flog out due to the extended radius from the lift and from the arm angles created from the higher ride hight.
    When its all done and ticked off I will stick it in the Vendors section if any one is interested.

    Any way this gets rid of all those probs and you also gain if you want an extra 50mm total diff droop.
    It will be a total removable item.
    Just thought id post up...

    Are you going to lengthen the centre pivot or just the arms and mounts, or is the centre pivot better off being shorter or as it is.

    Sorry fo the late reply,
    I thought it would be better to keep the pivot standard as it looks as the bolts will hit the diff housing and to keep the protection of not lowering it incase of strikes .I get a bit clumsy sometimes
