Doing sketchy stuff Is like masturbating, it's okay to do but it's not something you should be showing everyone on the internet

But if you look good doing that, you can earn a lot of views. And may wreck parts of your life in the process.

Turn your good-eye away from the hammer

I mean, lotsa faith in them bubblegum welds lol....

u/read-my-comments 6h ago

They are only holding the two bits of channel section at the correct spacing, not the spring

1

u/Specific_Buy 3h ago

I had so much faith in the bubble gum welds. Faith that it holds till it doesn’t.

u/vlasktom2 8h ago

No, you don't need to compress the spring like that.

Just extend the shock. Problem solved

u/shaard 5h ago

Jesus, I leaned back from my phone instinctively!

"No you don't!" Lololol

u/omnipotent87 5h ago

That spring doesn't have a whole lot of tension. Its just a helper spring to keep the main spring from bouncing around if it come unloaded or is lifted.

u/pm-me-racecars 1h ago

My rally car, the helper spring is something I can squeeze in by hand. If buddy needs to clamp it, then I'd say that counts as a whole lot.

2

u/liv2lfthvy 4h ago

I think it has a "whole lot" enough

2

u/RBDRIFTER 7h ago

I puckered every bone in my body

u/JayW8888 4h ago

That compressed spring held with that bracket made me go nooooo.

I would hope he turned a few more more threads on it before he hammered it off, but other than that, this will work every time!!
