BowHouse RC Trail Finder 2 CNC Rear Leaf Shackle Mount
About this part
Reviews4.7 · 3 reviews
This is the first upgrade that should be done on any tf2 if your keeping the stock leaf springs. It completely fixes the rear shackle angle and makes it flex so much better overall. However, id still recommend just getting on the twistedfabco list and putting the money towards a set of his springs instead.
These leaf shackle mounts perform just as Bowhouse RC promises! super easy to install, a must buy upgrade for any leaf sprung TF2
I don't think these improve anything on the new "1982" edition (red or blue RTR), they already have something similar pre-installed to fix the shackle flipping and locking up. Flex is about the same as stock. Still helpful on old TF2 models though. Quality is fine. CNC aluminum. Threads weren't super smooth though.
Reviewers largely agree the CNC aluminum rear leaf shackle mounts are well made and easy to install, and that they correct the rear shackle angle, improving flex on older Trail Finder 2 models with stock leaf springs. One reviewer found the threads slightly rough. Opinions differ on value for newer "1982" editions: one reviewer felt the mounts add little there because similar parts are pre-installed and flex is about the same as stock. Another reviewer suggested spending the money on aftermarket leaf springs instead, though they still recommended the mounts for stock-spring setups.
