The addition of a 1/4-inch gusset plate welded between the arms significantly increases structural integrity, reducing flex and enhancing overall suspension stability.
The pivot ball joints are precision-engineered to provide optimal articulation and alignment capability. Their greaseable design allows for routine maintenance, extending the lifespan of the components and ensuring consistent performance over time. The kit’s rear monotube M9500 shocks feature advanced damping technology to improve ride comfort and control, even on challenging terrain.
