Is this the coilover system you mentioned before? Curious which springs and shocks you're using.

I'm doing the king coilover setup. running 4400# springs to set my height choice before hand.

The first springs I had made were 3" lower and factory rate. With thin bumpstops, it rode well, but too much frame interference.
I had a second pair of springs made that are 2.5" lower and 15% stiffer. These have been installed for almost 2 years. Rides stiff, but frame contact is rare.

I believe 2" is about as low as you can go in the front, and still have a good ride. That is unless NLF can find a solution to allow more travel before the axle meets the frame...?

With King changing the stroke , and having adjusters on the coilovers , I went 2" shorter.

You went to 3.73s, no? Now with the shorter tire, do you think 3.31 or 3.55 is a better choice?

i'll see. I still have the 3:31 if I feel froggy. gonna do tru trac's pretty soon, i'll wait until I know how I like the gears at high hp .

taking the bump stop out all together including the mounting plate will help you get more travel but its pretty loud when it does make contact.
