    thanks, 7100s look pretty good...but i'd have to convert the top mount pin to an eye. Looking at the collapsed lengths, i'll probably have to fab a bumpstop riser for the u-bolt flip kit I put on today.

    here is 26" taking the weight off the wheel with a hi-lift, pretty sure it will still flex some more too. Need to find a spot where I can un-bolt the shocks and get a good collapsed length.
