but I wouldn't want to stack another one on there...
There overkill thick.
If you needed more...
I'd extend/space the uppers or buy a longer (4" ?) version.

depends if you've done any cutting. just flex it out till it is as far as you want it to go then measure and see how much you need to add. i would guess around 2-5" depending if you have cut and just how much you havejeepmanxj94 said:

Springs are too expensive for me to be repeatedly overcompressing them. Bumpstops are your friend.

thats when you take out the BFH and go to town on the inner
Can you explain this 'overcompression' concept???
Ramsey said:
Well with the rear, on a 4 door at least, the edge of the rear door opening is your limiting factor as to how much you can trim, that is unless you position the axle more rearward than stock. on the front, once you bend over that seam on the inner fender, there's a nice flat surface that closely matches the curvature of the tire and doesn't damage the tire upon contact if your backspacing allows you to stuff appropriately.

Seems to me that repeated overcompression would prematurely fatigue the springs. Overcompression being maximum compression, 'over' probably being a poor choice of words.
