Thanks Chris, bmr cradle lockouts installed. Would like to say I had a great time, but it was only fun. Getting the cradle to line up again took the great time out of its now waiting on the 4" aluminum drive line from dss. July 5 th hopefully this is the last drive line.
Thank you for watching! Don't forget to get an alignment. Glad the video helped you. Good luck with your build🤘
The cradle bolt are torked to 120 pounds is that it ? What's the 160
@@allent208-kf4hv move up in 10ft-lb increments in rotation up to 160 ft-lbs. That will ensure the cradle won't come loose and allows for proper thread stretch on the cradle bolts.
Isn't the alignment shop just gonna in do them? To align the cradle on a wheel alignment
@allent208-kf4hv the alignment shop shouldn't touch the cradle bolts if that's what you're asking.
Great video bro 👏🏼 great info! My rear end feels like it’s off under hard acceleration. Started happening after I did my upper pulley. Will probably do this in the near future.
Better than the sub par instructions...not hating just glad someone made a video to explain the install great job 👏
Thank you! Hope it was helpful!
Great video! You really make the install look easy and I appreciate that you are working on your own Redeye. Your install and tips are top notch!
Just now seeing your comment. Thank you for your support! Just wanting to show others it's not as difficult as we think😎
I'm going to do mine this Thursday because I'm putting in a aluminum after market drive shaft and they require a cradle lock out for warranty. I habe a dumb question! Is the jack supporting the rear differential to lower the cradle!
Correct. You don't want to completely drop the cradle. That way you don't have to remove the driveshaft and exhaust. Unless your plan is to do it all at once.
I had to get the drive line out and back to autozone. Never getting a Dorman again 60 miles
Did your cradle move any after some hard launches at the track?
Yes. A lockout kit will help mitigate the cradle movement.
Mr. Kelly great vid , keep those vids coming, Blessings and Stay Safe my Friend...
Hello Chris....good vid...not replacing the bushings makes the job a whole lot easier. Looking forward to hearing how they do. Happy Holidays and BE SAFE...get some wheel chocks
Hey John, just listened to your voice-mail, I apologize for missing your call I was in the middle of a delivery with a client. After listening to your message, I went to call you back but you didn't leave a callback number. Thank you for the info, I definitely appreciate it man!
Will this help with one piece driveshaft vibrations
Another great video, unfortunitely for me I'd have to pay someone to install this lol. Great job man.
how did you like them Chris? Im debating grabbing a set since im missing the rear oem limit washers anyway, I would rather just lock it out.
I ran them for a couple years and liked them a lot. I have since switched to the solid billet mounts. The rubber is completely removed for the installation of the billet inserts.
@@KelleysGarageOfficial I'm about to install a one piece shaft. Do you recommend the billet inserts you just mentioned over this lockout kit?
@Malseph for drivability the inserts are a better option. If it's a track only car then go with the billet mounts. Hope this helps.
@Malseph running a cci one piece ahaft and this lockout kit , no problems at all , its like night and day even with the lockout kit, I imagine the aluminum bushings would be even better since ya really want the arms to be the bushing points and not the subframe too.
@@kbrx4310 solid mounts make the rear end very loud.
Would you be able to use the cradle busing lockout kit on old worn bushings? Asking because i have a 09 challenger srt8 and i want to intall that lockout kit but i dont want to go and fight tooth and nail just to get the old bushings out 😅
How is the noise level now and ride quality affected?
Unaffected. Rides like stock just a bit more support in the rear.
Have you had any subframe movement after installing the lockout kit?
Since this video was made I have changed from the lockouts to solid billet cradle mounts. You will still get movement with the lockout kit since you're not completely eliminating the rubber. However, the movement is dramatically reduced with the lockout kit.
@@KelleysGarageOfficial do you have a video up about the solid billet cradle mounts? Is it viable for a daily driver or is the ride to harsh and only for race?...thanks for responding to my questions
You would not want that as a daily driver. The rear end is very noisy when you make it solid. The lockouts aren't bad at all, you don't even notice them aside from the added stability.
Awesome then i will do the lock out kit and the diff brace to strengthen the rear end of the car. Appreciate the info
Awesome work! I’m about to install mine and the full aad suspension setup. Did you have any issues with alignment after dropping the cradle and using the marks to put it back into place?
Thanks man!
Anytime you drop the cradle the car will need to be realigned. As many times as I've dropped mine and thought I had it super close to my guidelines. The alignment has always been way off.
Nice video, how did you get the cradle to move when reinstalling the cradle bolt. Did you take pressure off the spring? I can’t get my cradle to shift to the left like you did. Thanks.
Loosen all four bolts. Use pry bars to pull it back, then tighten down while pulling back.. it's a 2-3 man job. 120 ft-lbs, then work up by 10 ft-lb increments in rotation to 160.
Got it. Thanks!
Can I just use a cutting wheel for that green part on the front versus drilling?
Wouldn't reccomend it. Drilling is going to be the best route.
Hey Chris. Got my kit. Debating to install myself lol did you notice a difference? Not wanting to remove exhaust lol.
@Anthony Morales it's not too bad of an install. Just make sure you have the tools needed beforehand and you'll be good. You will definitely need to remove the exhaust due to lowering the cradle. Are you local to Orlando Fl?
@@KelleysGarageOfficial i wish. Im in los angeles. May just take the plunge and do it lol
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions during your install. It's really not bad at all. Only took me about 1.5-2 hours to complete while making a video.
@@KelleysGarageOfficial thank you man. Really appreciate that
Hey Chris. Got those Billets mounted..PIA
How does this Lock-out mod feel to you? Do you think this will help, or solve your D/S issues? Adding this to my build sheet. I am building up my shop with all the parts for my E85 build. Once I have everything, I will send the supercharger out to Brett@jokers
I just want to take the whole car apart once, and do everything.
Figure by keeping tune to 75-80% I can minimize breakage and down time. Keep those vids coming. Very helpful..Be safe..
Best
Hey Andrew! Glad to hear you got them mounted. The lockout kit from what I'm told was made to minimize cradle movement, that way the driveshaft won't get pinched anymore. I'm still waiting on DSS to send me both carbon fiber shafts. Unfortunately haven't been able to drive the car since installing the lockouts. I'll be sure to post a video of the difference if I notice anything in the drivability.
You'll do the 75%+ until you feel E85 for the first time💪
I've never been on the drag strip before this car, now I'm hooked!
Just watched this video and I am planning on doing the lockout on my 16 Charger Hellcat i know its an older video hope you see this! I have a few questions about the install! First i see you have the Per4mance diff brace i have the same one did you have to remove the top 2 bolts that bolt the brace to the cross member of the car to get the cradle to drop? Also since this video is a year old have you got a chance to drive it since installing and did you notice a difference in anyway? Thanks im gonna order the BMR kit right now !
Hey Chris just found your videos awesome and shot great! Did you have to loosen any wiring or fuel tank filler hose you never mentioned it did it get tight at all. About to do thirst literally now as just added all aad.
Hey Carlton, thank you for your support! The only thing I had to loosen was the break line bracket on each side. Nothing fuel or wire related needs to be removed or moved to the side.
You'll find the install very easy when it's all said and done. I highly recommend marking the cradle and body before starting the work. I'm here if you have any questions😎
@@KelleysGarageOfficial thanks bud I have it all stripped and will drill and install in the am. Appreciate it. Do you have anywhere I can see your runs passes etc. I have a 19 narrow body red eye. You can see it’s runs so far on Instagram @poormansdemon. Give er a look if you like. I will follow you also if have a insta etc
Hello sir my factory driveshaft is currently making noise because the carrier bearing is missing. I was thinking of upgrading to the DSS aluminum. Which I understand is your current setup. Have you had an issues with it long term? I heard alot of complaints about noise and was not sure if this is the right move.
Hey Terrelle, I'm not running an aluminum driveshaft. It only lasted 3 pulls at the track before it decided to have a significant wobble. My recommendation would be to get a stock replacement or pick up a carbon fiber.
@@KelleysGarageOfficial thank you sir. I ended up going back to the factory two piece shaft after swapping the aluminum one twice. It would have significant shaking at about 115.
Hey Man, great videos, really helpful. I’m wondering if you looked at the bmr scb112 vs the scb110 you got. They both say basically the same thing but have different characteristics. Any thoughts?
The scb112 are the solid billet mounts and the scb110 are the cradle lockouts. If you street driver the car you're going to want to run the scb110 inserts not the scb112. Sorry for the late response it's difficult to get back to everyone in a timely manner.
So with this set the entire rubber bushing stock doesn't have to be removed? May have to watch the front install again as I think missed something
Hey Tracy, the lockout kit are just inserted into the factory rubber bushings. You don't remove anything other than the 3 things I've outlined in the video.
@@KelleysGarageOfficial thanks.....will look for the part number and make a plan to run this onto my project list
SCB110 Is the part number. Highly recommended, this week save your drivetrain! @@wizzavtx
How long did this install take? I have a shop saying 3 days $4,400 🤦🏻♂️. Seems like you did it in no time at all.
For a lockout kit?
Yes sir.
I need to fly you out to San Diego. Pay for hotel and food it would probably be cheaper lol. Love the videos!
@@itssuperstock7712 they're definitely ripping you off. I did this lockout kit in just over an hour. You will need an alignment after just FYI
Thank you! Time to look somewhere else.
