Tmotion install questions

[MtnMaster]

Just finished doing the Tmotion upgrade to my XP. I have it all installed but not the skid back in the sled, yet. With the skid assembled and on the shop floor when I rotate the rear arm back and forth the steel springs pop out of their little plastic hangers....?
Anyone else have this problem? Its an '08, but I have the rear suspension upgrade as well as '12 rails and the heavy springs. I understand when the skid is back in the sled there will be pressure on it, and they won't come out when there's weight on it. But what about in the air, when the susp drops to fully extended.... Just wondering if I'm being an idiot and once its in the sled it wont do that, but don't want the springs to pop out and stab the track.

Do you have the spring hangers on upside down? Cause I don't think that's right either.

Nope, they're the right way

Nevermind, you have to collapse the suspension a bit to get it to line up to the mounts. I knew you did, but was concerned about how much you actually have to. All seems well.
Mods feel free to delete this thread lol

I'd say keep the thread open and tell us how well it works for you.
My brother has an 08 XP and he was thinking of adding t-motion.

Sounds good.. Its not an '08 suspension set up, though. Extreme airvents upgrade with custom shocks, 2012 rails, heavy springs, and now the Tmotion. I can tell you on the shop floor it seems easier to lay over now. That stuff sure moves a lot underneath there. Sure noticed a difference when I did the suspension upgrade a few years ago. Then the SC36 kit last year, now this. Super pumped to try it out.
