    Aight since I picked up coilovers Saturday, been throwing around the idea of going with the 4” kit over the 2.25.” Someone talk me out of that extra inch of travel…. Those of you running the wider kits, whats your biggest annoyance or nuance with the extra track width?

    Only thing coming to mind for me the glass getting scratched.

    I haven't run into a down side yet w/ the +4 & the turning radius is actually better than my last kit ?

    Knew I might regret asking haha. Turning radius sounds nice. How far does your wheel/tire setup stick out with the glass? With mine, even the 2.25 kit might put me in glass territory.

    What @desertjunkie760 said. Thanks for the offer though. I’m just gonna rebuild them, wouldn’t mind doing it myself for the learning experience.

    Its very wet at the lower seal but it’s hard to tell, i had prior leakage at the top fitting but it hasn’t loosened so we’ll see.

    Rear is going to get the JD spring under treatment when financially possible. My ADS 14” triples never sold so they’ll work perfect for it.
