shogs Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Compared to wicked they are the same except you have to ream your spindles. With my wickeds I just turned all the ball joints out 2 turns and they seem to be even and ready to ride. Only problem with mine was the tie rods wont thread the tie rod ends on right. You'll be happy with the full flights. Are they the ball joint kind or heim joint kind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbcmudtruck Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 You shouldn't have to ream your spindles to run FF'S. Do a search in this forum, you will find 50 threads about FF's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodie Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I had ff they came with the shee when I bought it. Went to hatfield and the heim dropped out and my a-arm was sitting on the ground.... sucked. Brought it home fixed it took it down the road and it dropped out again had to buy a new heim since then I didn't trust it so I got some new ones. I don't know how strong the ball joints are for the ff's now. Good Luck. If you search there will be a shit load of ff threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grpark20 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I think the biggest issue with full flight is the bolt/nut for spindle and heim dropping out.....for mine I followed the directions to a "T". cleaned all the threads, apllied a lot of the red loctite, followed torque specs, and let it sit for 24 hrs......actually about 2 months due to current build....If I lose a bolt or nut, I'm just going to order ball joints over heims.....As far as the arm, couldn't beat the quality for the chromoly everything in my opinion. Supposedly back in the day full flight was crap due to the metals used....as far as I know now the only issue I know of is the one I stated above, which could very easily be user error. For a little insurance you could do a tac weld.....but that would get annoying if you have to tear it all apart a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbcmudtruck Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I bent an arm due to a pretty knarly crash and sent it back them. I didn't have any reciepts or anything and they replaced it no questions. I know one issue people were having was the hiem joints breaking or bending. They now offer some extra heavy duty hiems that are nylon coated or some shit like that. I have only run the regular hiems and have only bent one, and that was during the crash. The biggest thing about them is that they are adjustable in 12 different spots. It comes in very handy when you have a fucked up frame.
