    Where are you folks measuring your travel from/at?
    Is it between the top of the axle and the frame?

    Hey @906taco can you tell me how you prep coilovers for cerakote?

    I found some coilovers on marketplace that are a little "musty" and wondering how far it needs to be torn down for cerakote

    They need to be fully broken down, media blasted and cleaned. You can use air cure ceramic but oven cure is superior.
