Making accusations doesn't hold water. I've ridden probably 10-12 of the 20 I've bought and sold and had 15,000 - 20,000 miles of serious riding.

and saying "it makes no sense" is god damn retarded. how come my M series only protects under the belly pan and cat didnt put a little dimple to extend to the a-arms (similar to the edge dimple for the radius arms)? so, right there YOUR theory is wrong.

Look at the angle of the A arms on your M series compared to the angle of radius rods on Edges. Notice anything different? Get back to me when you figure out what I'm telling you.

and if the radius arm is in the pocket of the skid plate, then the suspension is fully dropped (which would mean your, or that side, is in the air). what the he!! are you going to hit in the air? i sure as sh!t dont see trail riders carving and boondocking?

How are you trying to tell me that if one radius rod is fully depressed, the other one is also fully extended? Your not making any sense. Clarify your post or proof read.

if you hit something that precise, in that exact same spot, when the radius arm is dropped, then you need to go to las vegas cuz your fu*king lucky.

Again, not understanding your point here. Explain further.
