Big Problem

[bforum3]

Man i'm having some problems check this out, i just bought an rd logics one peice pipe and rpm shock towers and I've taken off old shock towers and i put on my new pipe and I'm putting the new rpm shock towers and body mounts and the screw and nut where you attach the top of the shock to is hitting the manifold and preventing me from attaching the shock tower to the bulk head!
Plz help!:madface: :bow:

I have that same problem with my RPM shocktowers and the Sirio pipe and manifold. I barley fits and it bends my header ob big impacts. I am buying HCR alum shocktowers. If you like to jump big I guess they are a must. I have tried the Proline's the RPM's and of course the stock and I have come to the conclusion that on an off road vehicle that I jump like the Dukes of Hazard just wasn't meant to have plastic shock towers. My vote is ditch the RPM's they make great products don't get me wrong but I did not like the towers for more than one reason.

But i can't even get my shock tower on!

I routinely do jumps the Dukes of Hazard would envy and have major crashes as well that they're glad they didn't do and I have no problems with my RPM shock towers.

:arrr: Something like that.

However my rpm shock towers are one of the few parts I have NOT broken.

i still run RPM shock towers and have continued to do so for about 2 years now and i have never had any problem with them hitting the manifold.

I got rid of the rear RPM shocktower because I ruined via dented the hell out of 2 headers because the dang things flex to much on bad crashes. Now I run an alum. tower in the rear and NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

true, the aluminum ones are twice as better, and when i get the UE suspension kit i will get the knucklhead shock towers with mine!!

Oh Yeah!! :beer: :w00t: Nothing a dremel and a few hours of engineering can't do to fix my problem, i jimmy rigged it and everything fits good now and i ran my new pipe and WHOO HOO it cruizes.
