    Then a 14" coilover and 16" bypass in the rear.

    Just aligned it and added 1" of ride height in the front

    No reason to go bigger, you'll never use all your bypass tubes with an 18

    Landon, what front kit is that? What's the spindle details? Looks nice!



    I'm running a 14" c/o and an 18" next to it. Both show 1/2" of shaft at bump. I worked with what I had though... At full droop I'm not extending my 18" all the way. Granted, I'm not bypassed but I set it up so that I'd be using the full compression on a bypass, I just wouldn't be getting that last 1"-2" of extension out of the bypass. (center mount isn't finished, I have a full vertical back brace tieing into the truss... That's why it's not painted. I wanted to wait to finalize that till I had the driveshaft built so if I needed to rotate it for pinion I could relatively easy still at this point.)

    It is indeed a Dirt Designs race kit. Yeah your setup looks great Khris. I just meant if your getting to pick your shocks a 14 and 16 is the way to go. And I'll grab a pick of the spindle it's a big bitch with a 1 1/2" lower uniball and the big pre 84 Toyota snouts

    ive heard of a few taco guys using the pretaco snouts, is that an option for beefier snouts over stock? i know its the same hub pattern, would they fit on a stock spindle?
