mvusse Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I run 6.25" in front on short arms causing the axle to swing back a lot more under droop with 11" suspension travel and have no issues with shock clearance or the shocks bending.

Eagle Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I think you need limit straps on the suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirteatr717 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 You need to use a host website like flickr, photobucket, tinypic, Facebook and copy the link and paste it in-between these tags--> just click the Img button in the toolbar above and tahdah Also is there a need for over 10" of lift? Is just the driver side shock hitting? If so you need to adjust your trackbar so the axle sits a hair more towards the driver side or relocate the axle side shock mounts out further.

CoryMJ89 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 no its both sides driver and passenger side that hit and idk ill have to look there from trail gear.. and at rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 At rest = measurement between the upper and lower mounting points with the truck stopped and sitting on flat ground. The Bilstein part number is stamped on the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
