    What offset/back spacing are you guys running in the back to take advantage of the travel? I currently have 16x8 ray 10s w/ 4'' back spacing, would i need some spacers? - disregard. found the answer :rofl:

    This would add up to a total of a 2” backspacing? If im not totally brain farting. Is there a reason it is listed so? Technically a 4” bs wheel and 2” spacer would get you in the same place right. Jut used this post as example

    Would 2.5 shocks work in the shock tower with 4.75 backspaced methods and a 1” spacer without contact at full flex? If not 2.0 it is.

    Way too many factors come into play you wouldn't know until to tried to fit it up.

    Check My Sig.
    Negative, these will not fit a bypass shock with external tubes.

    My buddy did a great job making sure everything fit right and cycled correctly. It was Dan close with the 2.5" shocks. She is sitting on 35x12.5r16s.

    I'm running 2.5s, rims with 4.5 backspacing and a 1.5" spacer and I have room for days at ride height. I'll cycle it tomorrow and post how close it gets.

    Do you happen to have aftermarket hangers? BAMF HD hangers/ archive garage hammer hangers?

    How do you like it with the hammer hangers? I’m basically looking to do the same setup you have. Would you be able to post a picture of the shock shaft at ride height.

    There was an issue with the first gen hangers with a tab and the dakars but the current version has corrected that.

    I don't have any right now but can get some this evening.
