    You have a different shock that what @MonkeyProof has. You're have internal spacers and cycle more.

    oh ok, i can't keep track of two threads and who has what anymore (or ever)
    I don't cycle more though. I was basically at 11" at the hub for upper uniball metal to metal.

    I’m on the +4

    To @MonkeyProof point. It’s physically impossible to cycle the claimed numbers. Even with no shocks or bumps in the picture. I tried like hell.

    When I called it out at one point. Harry told me, and I quote “if we told people the actual numbers we wouldn’t sell any. It’s what everyone does” So take that for what it’s worth.

    They both have the +4" kit.

    You and I have the 2.25", which I would expect to cycle less.

    should've paid attention to that when we were talking spring rates a couple pages back. I assume the motion ratios are different on the 2.25 vs 4 kits so it would make sense the wheel rate is softer on a 4" kit with the equivalent spring rate... meaning it makes sense that i could sit taller on the same spring with the 2.25" kit vs the 4" kit

    We're all here to learn and appreciate your contribution to the conversation.

    I just wanted to clarify because details matter. :fistbump:

    I never measured what I cycle when I installed the kit. I would guesstimate I'm right around 11.5" but I will be tearing the truck apart within the next few weeks and will report back.

    As far as I know yes. But I have tried contacting him numerous times via email and IG with no luck.
