RR, I dont have the specs off hand, but I wanted to ask you about the arm and maybe offer some words of advice. I have the Swampworks arm and its the same design. The 3 bolts (1 pinch bolt and 2 large securing bolts.) that came with my arm and attach it to the rest of the swing arm were black allen head bolts, are yours the same?

If so, I would highly reccomend you swap them out for a set of grade 5 or grade 8 bolts. I went with standard hex headed ones on my bike as I couldnt find any in the same configuration. I was warned by another rider to swap them out as his brok off in the arm and required a machinest to extract it. Those bolts tend to rust badly and seize into the hols. Mine have only been on for a season and they were rusting halfway down the threads when removed.

Just a tip while your installing!
