Thanks for the tip. I'll make sure to address that when I install the hagons.

The clevis on the Hagon shocks is thicker than the stockers, so the bolt will not have enough threads exposed to properly tighten the nut. You'll be better off installing the Hagons with the threaded side of the clevis inward, then install the bolt (with a lockwasher under the head) from the outside. There will be about one thread of the bolt exposed inboard, and that will not interfere with the chain. (OCD Purist disclaimer in effect) Regards, Chase

That's exactly what I had in mind. Thanks for confirming.
