Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension

Now it's drill time. Use a 3/8" drill to drill out the rear hole for mounting the coil-over bracket. Then use 1 5/8" bit to drill through the frame for the upper coil-over mount bolt. Put the third mount bolt in place.

TIP: For the 5/8" hole, start with a 5/8" bit, using the bracket as a guide to center the drill. Stop after about 20 seconds. You should have the beginning od a hole started, in the center. Switch to a 1/4" bit and drill out a pilot hole, using the center from the 5/8" bit. Then go back to the 5/8" bit and open the hole up. This is much easier than fighting with the 5/8" bit all the way though.

*** Note the poition of the gusset on the mounting bracket. It is to the rear of the truck. There are 'left' and 'right' hand brackets. ***

Is a 1 5/8" bit needed or 5/8" drill bit? I marked it in red.

Thanks

Oops, it is a 5/8" drill bit. You will need three bits in total. 1/4", 3/8", and 5/8".

Thanks for the order, - no notch yet, appx 60 days

Thanks Rob I'll keep checking back on the c-notch.


Does the kit come with any cool No Limit stickers? I have a tool box that needs more stickers.

Thanks Nick

Hey Rob,

Any updates on the notch? I am going to order the Wide Ride front but holding out until the rear notch is done.
