    If all I care about is off-road performance over washboard/pothole ridden logging roads, and tire and ground clearance isn't an issue, is there any reason to not crank down a set of King Coilovers to near stock height? Would that not give me the most droop travel and best ride?

    I'm just wondering if there will be any negative effects of lowering the coilovers...I know people usually are trying to go higher but that's not really a big deal to me I just need it to soak up the bumps the best it can.

    Thanks

    Ground clearance is usually beneficial when off-roading. Other than that, no harm with running near stock height.

    Yeah, with my type of off-roading it's mostly 30-60mph washboard, I've yet to come close to bottoming out on anything and I won't be hitting any whoops at 70+ so I was curious for my usage if I'd get a better ride by being lower, as well as putting less stress on the stock suspension components
