    Take a look at my build page.
    Theres a pic of the coilover and the amount of threads showing. Use it for reference as it was about perfect right there.
    Is it the HS 3 leaf aal? It really raises the rear so cranking the front up to level is really necessary.
    You can see the build in my signature.

    This is home my rear passenger is set up. I had my resivoir towards the front at first but it would contact my brake line. I’ve fully stuffed my rear wheels with no issues with my current set up.

    Awesome, thanks! Yeah it’s the headstrong aal. I’ll go with your preload settings and take it from there. Did you make any adjustments to the dsc after adding more preload?

    Yeah, I’ve got mine in the front right now and it crossed my mind to do this after I noticed there wasn’t much clearance. I might flip it around like this.

    My front extended coilovers came with 1.925” / 27 threads showing from the factory. I have a HS AAL and I still have about an inch of rake.

    Be sure to read the next page of the install instructions before putting the leaf on. You’ll need to take an angle grinder to the rivet on the stock leaf pack bracket in the back and pry the bracket off so it doesn’t rub against the new HS AAL.

    I’m dumb and had the whole thing installed before I noticed that.

    Adjusting my fox 2.5 coilovers (standard length) tomorrow after letting them settle in. Have some rake from the HS 3 leaf AAL... anyone have a count of turns/ threads to get level or even a picture? Maybe a thread measurement?... help...

    No help, but interested in your results.

    I found someone’s build thread that had the info, but can’t find it now.
