Re: 51' 3100 build in PA New to Site
The upper arms is a no brainer for several reasons. 1. tubular just looks way cooler! 2. it woulda cost almost as much to rebush these stock crappy arms, not to mention the nightmare it is doing that. 3. these are already powdercoated and work really well. They are a needle bearing design, so you do have to grease them.
yes you have to clearance that spring pocket area, I cut about an inch outta the front, then hammer it out a bit. The bag actually wants to sit or hit more toward the back of frame so you gotta clearance all that out. its easy takes 15-20 min per side. I use 2600lb bags so I think they are 7" diameter, just a bit bigger than a 2500lb bag. the idea behind a larger bag is, 1. the v8 is heavy and 2. you can run less pressure at about the same height as a 2500lb bag, so.....smoother ride!
