Hello all, just wondering if anyone would be able to give me some tips, advice or tell me flat out what to do. I recently broke the front "frame" of the suspension, (the metal arm that connects the front shock/spring to the suspension frame).

I had it welded by a certified welder friend of mine, so that is all repaired.

I am trying to install the whole suspension back into it now and have gotten the 2 front bolts in. (got them tight but left enough room for some play for now)

However, I am lowering the rear now to line up the 2 upper boggie wheels inorder to put those bolts back in, and they appear to be like a inch or inch 1/2 behind the whole they are suppose to line up with.

It would seeem that i need to compress the rear shock to get them to move forward. Is there a way to take the tension off these rear upper wheels so that i can move them forward and bolt them in?

I am trying to hold out on doing the polish thing (i'm polish so no hard feelings) and drilling new holes and mountin it back further, but if worse comes to worse i guess i wouldn't mind doing this. I just want it to be installed correctly.

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I know in the past when I did a track install I used straps that can be ratcheted. I used my wide straps that hold my 4wheeler in my trailer. I hope that helps.

+1 on the ratchet straps. It doesn't take a big one, just wrap one around the suspension and compress it a little so you can align those front holes
