Stud Question

They dont look new to me aswell. Now is it okay to run a 1.175 with stock tunnel protectors? I would imagine so right. Dont need to upgrade if its going to do the job when i bottom out
 
Well i shouldnt be to worried now if i run a 1.175 that i will have Both heat exchanger protectors and tunnel protectors right?

If you have a Kimpex Agressor or other track with lugs that run the full width the risk is lessened but not eliminated. The protectors are located where the clips/windows run and most tracks (including the OEM) do not have the lug in that area or the lug height is reduced.

I have a 1" Agressor track on my '01 with 1.075" Gold Diggers along with both HX protectors. I had to trim the lugs about and 1/8" at the clip/window area to avoid rubbing against the protector. With the track loose, it ballons a bit more than if it were tight and if not for the protectors I'd have nicks in the rear HX.
 
Pro's
-won't balloon as much as higher speeds, therefore not hitting the HX or tunnel.

Con's
Tighter track=more resistance
more resistance=less power/speed

Wears out the Hifax faster, more stress on rear axle and driveshaft bearings
 
Hey Rich, Im going to order my studs through your shop. I decided not to run the 1.075. Im stuck between the Extreme Max 1.25 or the Woody Golddiggers 1.075. Do you think i will be safe with the EM 1.25's? Opinions welcome
 
Heat Exchanger

jus noticed my front heat exchanger is missing one of the protecters, the other one was ready to fall off, does anybody know the part number, i looked at the micro fish but couldnt find it, im jus running the stock track, would i be ok not running the protecters?, what is everbody doing to keep them on, the rivets seemed kinda sub-par, thinking of jus welding them,
 
not trying to hyjack thread, thought i was starting a new one, to many xmas beverages last nite LOL
