I believe when I hit some pot holes or bunps and the suspension raises the springs are just moving around in there loose.

Either going to get some 2" drop coils or find an isolator that fits. Pretty sure these are 3" coils, with the frame jacled up I can spin them slightly before they catch.

When they uncompress on a bump they could be moving all around.

Also thought about using a j bolt to cinch them down. There is a hole right inside the lower pocket to put it in.

-- Picked up some J hooks and habe both coils locked down, will mark the coils and see tomorrow if they are still able to rotate.
Not a bad idea. Could shed some light on what's going on.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
