    Sort of steep, just keep an eye on those CV boots. With the fins touching, they'll wear out quicker than normal and start to tear.

    Looks a bit sharp... Is that full droop or under load?

    Thats under load. It compressed a little on the ride home so hopefully it will drop a tad bit more after some rough driving.

    I agree with Mike and Alex about the angle being steep. You could also loosen the small cv boot clamp and try moving it up the shaft to help with the touching issue

    I'd worry more about the UCA contacting the coils

    That shouldn't happen anyways. The range of motion is the same as stock, all the lift does is trade down travel for up travel (with the exception of the 3/4" spacer on top). If the coils are oriented correctly, there shouldn't be any issues.

    It doesnt touch the coils. But i am a little worried about the cv angles. And im definitely no messing with the boot. Iv had to replace two half axles cuz the boots ripped. So im trying to go as long as possible with out doing that again.

    But then again open kinda defeats the purpose.

    Hey guys,
    Today I was sitting out on the beach in Chatham watching the kid next to me fly a kite when the lifeguard came by and told him to stop. He said it was a state law against flying kites on the beach due to piping plovers! He further told the kid that the police enforce it. The kid pulled the kite down threw it to the ground and told his parents they outlawed fun at the beach. Any of you guys ever heard of this??
