I could make a new post with a link to the Raptor video we made, and give a time stamp. I discuss it a little in that video. It’s definitely an issue for those of us using the platform.
I love it. I could do it too but it seems like it would be better coming from someone with actual experience bending bolts rather than the build that did it as a preventative measure 👊🏼

Absolutely necessary even if just running larger tires. I bent 2 upper bolts before the portals😬
Is that mostly with aftermarket uppers because they have spherical ends vs fixed like stock? A spherical supported on only one side will definitely bend a bolt easier than a fixed bushinged ca would I think. Agree there needs to be a thread on this.

It doesn’t matter what arm you have in there, it’s a matter of leverage against one bolt where there should be 2 bolts. I’ll try and make a post on this soon, but this week is hectic with the holiday.
