    Nice! specs are close to my alignment. I went with an even 3* caster though because my scrub radius isn’t too bad. Our camber and toe measurements are similar. Glad it drives nice!

    Pretty sure Fox does it standard. Don't blame them for not bothering with it though.

    Limit straps are much more economical to boot.

    Does what? install a internal droop spring in a 2.5 Coilover? I've never seen one, they are a rubber bumper on the back side of the seal head. A total PITA when they disintegrate and small rubber bits are stuck in the DSC valve.

    The person I quoted was talking about Fox shocks.

    I know the ADS is a metal droop spring if installed. I don't remember standard ADS shocks having a rubber internal droop stop, just metal on metal.

    I just meant something to deaden the top out impact, not necessarily the spring setup.

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:Nah that'd be like 3 parts $100 and 30 mins of welding at most. We want more unnecessary complications and another $300 for the shocks and added rebuild costs!!

    I swapped out my bypasses for some remote reservoir shocks. We moved away from the desert, and mainly wheel tighter trails in the mountains. The bypasses are great, but I always hated all the noise they made. IMG_2777.jpgIMG_2778.jpgIMG_1849.jpg

    My endlink was coming really close to the spring seat under compression so I added a steel bushing to the balljoint side to give it more room. Much better now. Here’s a before and after, look at all that room!

    I cut the end of that bolt off with my Dremel when I noticed a slight rubbing on the coil. Chopped about 1/8-3/16” off

    Would you mind measuring the shafts exposed and the total length eye to eye (centers)?
