    @jjhitchen I know Steve has said this kit could cylce more on upstroke if the inner fenders are clearanced, but you wouldn't happen to know if you also need a 10" coilover in order to achieve that? or maybe @dirt designs can chime in himself if he gets a minute. Getting excited to tear out my beginner LT total chaos +2 kit and get my kit from Steve installed.

    I’m getting 14.75-15” before the upper arm lays flat against the inner fender. If I clearance the inner fender and cut the rubber washer off the bypass shock, I could get around 15.5” of travel vertical before I run out of shock. That’s with my 8” setupA54B4A9D-1B71-4400-A869-0B1D4CD7AFA3.jpg15141458-5663-4C4B-A5B8-166A3B129DD2.jpg

    I don’t have good numbers on the change in up travel but it was worth it. My biggest problem was always getting bigger tires in there, the 35s always rubbed the inner fender (which Steve said don’t do it but you gotta try!)

    I’m running 8” shocks up front and don’t see a need for the 10” it’s wasted shock stoke.

    As far as I can tell, yes. At full droop I could get another 1” of travel if not limited by the shock length. No bind there.

    I’m kinda in the same category. I think with a properly placed 10” shock a guy could get 16 easily, and maybe even 18” if they were motivated, but it would require complete fender delete and extensive rework of the firewall.
    To help with the firewall clearance, I coupled my long travel kit with the lower control arm mounts that allow more adjustments forwards. Looks like my clearance is decentA0F82680-025D-4802-8359-4051427C36F1.jpg Mother Nature has been ashing on us for months now, So don’t mind the mess.
