I think I'm going to be sore in the morning.

6+ Rhinocraft long travel kit
Should I fix it with stock parts?
Any suggested or upgrades other than learn how to drive? 25bangin.gif

make sure your spindles arent bent and make sure your ball joints are still seated. check the rack too, housing especially.

Do it again-- but this time backwards and faster. That might bend sh*t back the other way.

Glad to hear its just damage to the Rhino. Post some pics.

Very sore today.
And yes I am a dumb ass. Keep the comments coming. Thanks!! icon_blackeye.gif

I did the jump twice and landed nicely on the down hill.
The last one I guess I was going a bit fast.

Thanks for the support!
Here are pics of the damage I found so far.

if your not breaking parts your not driving it hard enough. good job.

Something had to take the hit... if that is all the damage you find - be grateful! Let us know what you decide to do?!?!?!

Not sure if I should stick with stock.

As noted something has to break. This seems like the cheapest fix.

My buddy has the beefy tie rods. He lawn darted his rhino and he he ripped the A arm out of the frame.

Anyone have any stock ones laying around?

Ouch, been there done that but didn't bend anything. At least you are ok.

Been there and done that, with the exact set up you've got. That's much better than a bent spindle or bent A-arm. It's an $80 (per side) fix and only about an hour worth of time. Make sure your spindles aren't bent or they will continue to bend the tie-rods in that same fashion. You've got a great set-up, just replace the parts and learn from your mistake.

I replaced mine with lonestar's set up and it has been great. It only took about 25 minutes to replace each side. Helpful hint, use a pipe wrench to remove the bent tie rod from the rack, its alot easier than trying to get a flare wrench in there.
