    You also have to add 2" to the collapsed length too. Call King and see what they can do for you. They have more than what is listed. Some of the shocks you can get with an "overcap" to shorten the collapsed length. So maybe a 10" with the overcap style would be perfect

    They arent necessarily custom, just not shown on their webpage. Mine cost the same amount as the standard 8" coilovers cost they are just assembled different

    Yup. I just PM'd them because now you have me curious. I want to see if I can get a 16" shock with an overcap so I can get the bedcage lower when I make it :) I would assume they could do it to any shock

    Okay, I'm probably going to wait til the salt is gone, but I might tear apart the leaf pack,(when I have free time) make a spacer then cycle the suspension to see what I get for travel, since it's probably slightly more than stuck due to the LR bumps.

    But def. let me know what you figure out:cool:
