    My dakars work my setup. Not saying my setup is correct. But it works. I'm running fox 12" 2.0 shocks. Had to modify the towers to make it work. Running 285/75/16 MTRs they come very very very close to rubbing, if they don't rub at full flex I'd be surprised. My dakars go into the negative at full flex. But mine are basically flat when not flexing. And my super bumps need to be risen about 5/16-1/2" to keep from bottoming out the shock. But no big problems for the wheeling I do. I actually tried to get to "full flex" last week to check and I couldn't get to full flex. So I'll just wheel it and keep an eye on it to see how it performs and what needs changing.

    @Basikbiker thanks man! Once I get back stateside Ill need to get in on a mod day or something so I can get these burned in. Hope everything is waiting for me when I get back

    What are most people running for bump stops? Since Im ordering King suspension, why not grab some bumps while Im at it? 2.0 or 2.5 probably wouldn't matter as much, but I think most are using 4" stops?

    Well now I may have to pick out a different wheel. Doing this kit with the SCS wheels, Ill need 1" spacers, might could get away with .75'', but I'm thinking the tire would crush the flare and fender stuffed. SCS Ray10 17x8.5 4.3" BS and 255/80 ST MAXX

    Thats are SCS SR8's correct? You don't rub your rear shock?

    Correct. I also have the Ray 10s.
    I haven't had any issues with rubbing the shock. Both stock or after shackle flip. It definitely is close in there, but no touching. Every setup is different, you won't know for sure til you do it. Worst case, throw on a small spacer. Either way, you'll be happy you did in the end. Jerrys kit works great!
    Your tires are a bit narrower i believe, which should help also.

    Awesome then, well I may be ok after all. Im in a Bora spacer group buy, maybe I should go .5 or .75 on the spacers. I don't want them that far out
