ORD Zero Rate off-set

[pismorat]

Does anyone have a picture of how the zero rate works with the offset holes? I look at the picture and at the description online and I cannot wrap my head around it for some reason. Anybody use the 1" or 1.5" offset, any pros or cons?

It would be the same thing as drilling a couple more holes in your spring perch. It just relocates the axle a little.

make it like this

cut that off and make it like this

you just effectively scooted the axle forward 1.5 inches.

Sweet, makes all the sense in the world to me now! How do you like it? I am assuming driveshaft mods are needed. The one thing that worries me is the center of the spring no longer sits right over the zero rate/perch. I am going to move the front 1.5" out though and am unsure on moving the rear still. Thanks again!

my driveshaft was already too long so this was perfect. i love it and in order for you to compensate the offset centering pin now is you gotta drill a hole in the spring plate for the bolt.


the centering pin is in the center of the perch but is basically scooted forward on the spring.

I didn't drill.
