[Spridgets] exhaust vs emergency brake (Pictures)

[Bob Spruck]

Monty:

Two other suggestions:

Looks like you are using bolts instead of clevis pins to attach the rods 
to the eccentric fitting. The threads on the bolts will chew up the 
fitting and/or rods over time. Go to Home Depot and get the correct size 
clevis pins.

I don't see any u-bolt threads exiting the nuts on the bottom of the 
shock absorber mounting plate. Based on the forces exerted on the 
spring/rear end housing by all that horsepower, make sure you have full 
engagement or more of the u-bolts through the nuts. Nylock nuts, or 
split washers, or Lock-Tite would be good also.
