    I would not go any higher than the 2 clip personally. I know there are others that will say it's fine though. In my view, if you need to go any higher on clip settings, you should just get 650 or 700 springs.
    To answer your question though, yes I would put it on 0 and put the puck in.

    Yea that makes more sense and you would benefit from the extra strength from the coil. Thanks for making my decision come to a conclusion. Might just do 2/1 on the notches with the "puck"( funny name) and get close to 3in. right?

    But what if run extended bumps and UCA meant for extended travel? I mean isn’t it the same concept as std travel vs ext travel coil overs? Serious question btw.

    Cheap works fine for those that don't go wildddddd.
    For those that do, it just gets expensive to break big boy toys.;)
