Anyone running skinz 42" on 08 rtx?

[Dooer700]

Curious because I'm doing my install and I'm not comfortable with the way the tie rods have to be turned out so far to achieve proper toe setting. All four are out equal amounts. I am either going to buy spindles from a newer nitro or contemplating switching my 08's from side to side.. Just looking to see if anyone else ran into this. Thanks

Yes I'm running one. I've had questions about the same issue but it's been good to go. I did contact rick at OFT about the toe rods and he said he made longer rods for his 08. Might be a better option then spindles or run it like it is. It does work but the tie rods look funky

Ok thanks! Jake at skinz said I should have about 1/2 of threads exposed.. I have more like 5/8 . I guess I'll stop over thinking it and ride it

 

[sorenson1610]

Yeah that sounds about right, looks wrong and I would like to have less threads exposed but it's fine. Pounded on it hard for 3000+ miles

How do you like the front end?

 

[sorenson1610]

Its awesome! Really changes the sled

I agree, the exposed thread is a little more than I would like, so reading this makes me feel better.

 

[Dooer700]

Yes I feel better about it after getting some feedback from others.. trying to get email support from skinz was tough.

I had to call skinz to get information before I purchased front. After that just dealt with Oft racing always responded to my emails very good customer service.
