    well my Frankie never disappoints. A while back I posted about having different front springs now I’m noticing the plates are also different to where the shock bolts or cotter pins. Shock is better or more accurate? Should I bother switching?

    My recollection was the cotter pin shock retention was used on the 3A or 2A product. Maybe this one has been swapped for the earlier pieces.

    Yeah, just an older design. The CJ-5 parts were always threaded, as I recall. Cotter keys on the front?
