Setup the 14bolt...(I think this axle might of been in a farm truck, not sure)

When Rich brought this frame over, he also brought over a replacement R/S trailing arm...because he thought there might be a problem with it. (the axle was loose, possible cracked arm). Well, it turns out the u-bolt, overtime, had loosened and rusted in place.

So the OG trailing is fine. In fact, there was a huge weight difference from the OG C-20 arm and the replacement C-10 arm he brought. I noticed this when I picked them up side by side. The C-20 is much more stronger then the 1/2 arm. It has reinforcement places welded/riveted at the coil mount location, and 3/4 of the way on the underside. Definately want to use these with the bags !!

Man I had to 'heat & beat' those rusty u-bolt reminents out of the trailing arms....
