    Tricky man. Long travel is adding a new dimension to coIL pound selection. What are your current 700 length? and what poundage spring and length did you have bef8re?

    See!! Can't give me shot for my iPad now!!

    I had 620s. They were sagging. Idk length though.

    Current are 18" 700lb. Due to the shock they are preloaded due to length.

    So thinking keeping it at 18" but dropping the rate.

    Sure I can. I need to meassure the spacing in the shock. Maybe a 16" would be better.

    I just know a longer coil is supposed to ride better...

    Isn't zero preload the key tho? So if u ran a 700 at zeor preload it'd probably ride better than a 6 or 650 with preload. Make taking the coil off easier too ;)

    Tried the tablet in a new spot today. Its a good spot and closer to my face so it's easier to see. I also used it in the work truck today and can get ~8 hours on a full charge of navigation time with the screen on full bright and gps on. Pretty good!

    My boots and straps are getting F'd, I didn't want to weld on to the arms, but will be following your lead here. Going to use a double shear mount though.
