    Aftermarket or revised pivot arm for Apex skid?

    Re: Pivot arm strengthening Just one last thought. You may wish to tag on some fix points for the shock remote cable while welding the forward pivot webs. I forgot this and ended up drilling some fixing holes but it would be easy to tack on some split tubing which would offer better...
