    You might be using those bumps quite a bit given that shock angle. What is your leaf setup again?

    Once you get some new leafs you'll actually be able to utilize that shock length, the stock leafs are only good for ~8" or wheel travel IIRC.

    Can't wait for new leafs Tbh.. But at least got these and I think I need to shorten them only about 2 or 3 inches of travel before contacting the bumps. Sooo shortening them Rn!1003151122.jpg 1003151122a.jpg

    Yeah, I would definitely think you would want to shorten them given they are almost 30% of your travel as is. Going to do 63" leafs?

    you should get some pictures that show us the "tire to shock/bump clearance" at full stuff

    seems like you get a little bit of rub, what size spacers do you have?

    It rubs a little now since I have 33.1250s now. But only 1.5 inch spacer so now I need to get some 2inch ones but at full articulation.

    Why don't you make yourself some long shackles so you can use some more of that travel? Who cares if you toast your stock leafs in the short term.
