ok, here is what i have
93 xj
re 6030 3.5" lift with new leaf packs and sway disconects
31x10.5x15 tires on stock steel rims
i flexed it out last night to see what travel i need.
the following measure ments are from stock front shock mounting locations, from the plate at the bottom to the hole for the stud at the top.
sitting level 21.25"
flexed to full droop 26"
flexed to full stuff 16" but still 1/2" away from bump stop so there is still a little more in theory that it could compress.
I have a set of king 2.5" piggyback reservoirs in 10" stroke for the front. they measure 18 3/8" eye to eye compressed, and 28 3/8" eye to eye extended. i tried to mock them up in there last night but am running out of ideas. I would like to see some examples before i start cutting up my rig to fit them.
do you all think i might have to go longer shock to keep from bottoming it out? maybe a 12" stroke would give me some room for error on measurements.
