    IMO if you are going to try to baja a spacer lift you will have issues Everyday driving and mild off roading should be no issue Your factory spring is designed to work with your factory strut. If you compress the spring with a spacer that in turn will limit your shock compression because ultimately the spring will stop the movement.

    Is my thinking flawed?

    You're pretty much dead on.
    I wouldn't bother with bigger bumps or anything. Just run it.

    well you just have to take that all into account and plan accordingly. Do do anything stupid. Spacers are cheap for a reason. So maybe you shouldn't run some of the harder trails.

    That is true the distance is increased but the spring is compressed so the travel is reduced. My thinking is ultimately the spring will sort of "bottom" out before the shock does. What we need to find out is the compressed measurement of the stock spring to the stock shock. My thinking is the spring compressed is longer than the shock compressed.

    That's not full compression.
    You still got quite a bit of space to go before the coils bind.

    x2, the only way you're gonna bottom the front is on a hard hit/jump.

    x3. It's hard to tell how much travel the shock still has due to the cover, but the coil is no where near full compression.

    Hopefully we will still be able to go on this trip. A lot of work to do yet, just hope the budget holds firm and I don't get shoulder surgery.

    eh. they'll figure it out haha


    all things aren't necessary but seems to be a good list of as many items that they could have thought of that might pertain to issues while out wheelin

    one thing they forgot those was extra beverages to enjoy should you have extra time to waste or need to quench your thirst..
