    I love when other people answer! This is all true. I really like my current setup up front. With the stock 650 coils i had way too much preload to compensate all the weight up front. The kings I have them cranked about 6 full rotations. Which equals just under an 1"

    Hey Paul, you mind posting your hub to fender measurements? Collecting data to see how lift size and IFS maintenance correlate. I know you tubbed for the 35s but I'll take whatever you can measure.

    Also, any mail yet?

    I'm sorry tom I haven't gotten you that measurement. Life has been pretty hectic. I should be home at a reasonable time to get you that. Two kids in diapers running circles around me

    No worries. I'm just collected data to see if there's correlation between lift height and damage done.

    I'm starting to suspect that USPS has lost the mail I sent.

    Yay! Now you don't have worry about recapping after servicing for awhile. I think I still have enough to do mine 16 more times. :D

    Surprised USPS took so long but glad they made it.

    Hey, all that matters is you got them. Now you can throw them in with the rest of the spare parts. ;)

    His current setup can't take advantage of it though. He still had some travel left in the LR :notsure:

    I think the correct responce is "because he can" :p

    50% sure...
    I could say because I wanted the 1" more of droop or something else. Real reason is I wanted the icons at first but settled with the lrs. Decided to buy them because that's what I originally wanted... no real reason. I have the extended travel icons so now it all works they way it should.
