I'm VERY low to get enough negative camber in the rear. Here are my measurements:
8.0" free spring length 6.5” static spring height 17.5” top of perch to centerline of shock bolt. 13.75” shock bottomed out. Top of perch to centerline of shock bolt. 3.75” total travel from static 5.25 total spring travel (static compression + total travel) 1” clearance to frame 1” bump stop height (may not be actually doing anything) I do run relatively high rear spring rate to try and keep from bottoming out though. |

That's what I'm looking for. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) So you have 3.75 of up travel? And you have 1" clearance in the static before it hits the frame? In the static position, what is the distance from ground to the pinch welds along the front and back of the longs? Thanks for your input. I'm trying to understand something on my build and this information really helps. |
