In the front it would as that is independent. The rear would react different. If you are seeing the limitation of a shock or something it would work. But my truck droops further straight than twisted. I am strapped so I can twist it to the strap but it does droop more untwisted if I remove the strap.

And if you have sway bars this also makes a difference. The front should still droop out. The rear probably wouldn't.

 

So if I'm reading this right lifting the entire rear end, say from the bumper, would allow for full droop.
Trying to figure out if shocks are currently the limiting factor, or if the leafs are.

 

Nah @uhplifted is, he's promised tugs a plenty

 

you got all pro leafs right? Are you running a 10 inch shock? Those springs are awesome. Wish I wasn't so impatient with my purchase.

 

Yeah the Allpro standards. Love my springs! They ride great. I'm pretty sure they're 10" shocks, it came with the "rear kit" I got from them. I'll need to do this for my truck in the future, I'm planning on doing the BAMF Shock relocation and archive shackle flip. For right now @YotaGurlIAm wants to lift the rear of her truck another inch or so to level it out since its sagging a bit and toytec makes a shackle lift but were worried her shocks may be too short.

 

Yes. I live in El Cajon. I'll pull out the cherry picker and pick it up for you if you want.

 

Oh shit, hell yeah! That would be awesome. I'll wait until @YotaGurlIAm jumps back on and see if we can figure out when. You're coming to Fiesta on Saturday right? Might just chat about it while we're there

 

I wonder if I could make a video with that

 

Just keep in mind that longer shocks will limit bump travel, just as shorter shocks will limit droop. If it were my truck I would do the lift shackles and then start measuring for shocks. You'll want to set them up so you can get the best ratio of bump : droop

 

Sounds good, are you coming Saturday? We can chat about it some more

 

Yeah. I'll be there Saturday. I'm easy to spot. Lol.

 

Do you have a mullet?

 

Shocks are your limiting factor.

 

Nope. Just a Mercury. Lol. 4 seater, business in the front and party in the back. Lol

 

Yep, got to find that sweet spot! If needed there are shock relocations for her 1st gen too so we can maximize tauntaun's potential. Thank you for your help

 

Longer shock would only limit bump travel if you don't raise up the mounting location of course. You could end up with a net zero if you raise the shock tower to compensate for added length.

But I think that's obvious?

 

I had a pic of mine lifted up but can't find it on my phone. But my cherry picker picked up my front so a rear should be easy. I put a dring in the tow hitch on mine.

 

For all the guys buying wheelers bump stops lately. I have an extra set of 3/8" shims that can be had for a good beer.

 

I've basially convinced myself to shutup and buy the rear ones as well.I think I can already tell the front ones are there.

Other interesting note... Before the 1.25" Spidertrax (thanks Marie! @HeadStrong Off-Road) I would get this horrible metallic popping noise when full lock turning and getting articulation from the suspension. Since the spacers, no noise! No rubbing anywhere on the fender... yet... Either. Here's to hoping it was just my tire catching something I couldn't place the whole time!
