I Have Heard Alot Of Good On Here About The Reloction Brakets For My 06 M7. Is There Anyone Else That Makes Them Other Then Holtz. I Would Rather Find Some Cheaper Ones If Possible.

Also How Do You Measure How Far In The Plastic Nut On The Scondary Is In. And What Tool Do You Use.

Thanks

As far as I know holz is the only one. You should be able to use a micromiter to measure the white nut

I forget what the spec. is but you might want to drill and tap a hole for a set screw to engage one of the holes in the nylon nut. The nuts will not stay in place and this is a simple fix

I wouldn't waste my money on the brackets, never installed them on my last 06, have them on my new 06, and can't tell any difference. Also had friends that put them on and said they couldn't tell a diff. just my 2 cents

I put the brackets on and noticed a big difference softened the suspension a bit and no more track bind but I also did the geo mod.

Couple the bracket together with the Geo mod and you will be ridin on pillows compared to the stock suspension.

What do brackets do - I see two holes in the top to relocate front arm

Which hole do you use front or back hole and what does this do?

Have a set and want to know if they were installed right...

Thanks in advance.......

Rear hole. Front hole was for Holz suspension mount maybe?

The Geo mod moves the rear spring mount back 1-2 inches and softens initial spring travel so it rides better. Drill new hole straight back from original. Further back softer spring travel.
