I just installed the same Ridetech retention kit and my hub was way off. Did you happen to check the runout? I’ve got a replacement set coming but if those are off I’m not sure how to shim. Is this something I should be worried about? The bearing didn’t have but maybe .001 or .002 of play when I measured as you did in the video. The rotor only exaggerated the runout caused by the hub. Thanks again for all your help.

[@DickShaw]

Not sure what to tell you. Mine both ran true. If your rotors are wobbling then something was not machined correctly. There will be no way to shim for that. If the caliper is not square with the rotor then you could shim one side to make it right.

I bet you played with erector sets as a kid.

I am wondering about the cost difference between a Ride Tech complete suspension vs. a aftermarket chassis?

[@DickShaw]

I think you would spend at least 4 times on the complete chassis. I looked into this option and decided to stick with the stock frame using the RideTech components.

Do the Torque specs. come with the instructions?

[@DickShaw]

Yes they do. Thanks for watching and for the comments.
