    A world of grief.

    I agree.

    You're not listening,

    Read....Do a search under the Suspension forum, listen, and learn.

    It would help if you had a build thread or even said it in your sig haha

    It weakens the strut mount because you are now raising the COG on the strut. It is now much easier to bend the mount because the coil bucket has more leverage on it. If that makes sense

    I disagree as COG of the assembly has nothing to do with anything.

    The actual issue is you're LENGTHENING the assembly and turning it into the bump stop if you don't lower the bump stop the same amount.

    I do agree on the lengthening part too, but thats what I think on the COG with the strut issue.

    That's a fat tire.. I think the spidertrax 1.25" ones will make it fit but not 100% sure

    You might want to do a little research to find out if that tire should be mounted on that width of rim. I'm thinking that tire is WAY too wide for that rim.
