OK, I have approx 6" lift, rear XJ44, RE1462 pack and 6* shim, sye, rusty's 6.5 coils up front and no vibes on 33" x 12.50 mt/r's on 4.75" BS wheels. Have a set of 12" travel bilstein 5100's. Without boring you with all the math, I end up with only 3.5" of up travel and about 8" droop. Distance between the coil spring pad and the bumpstop is approx 5" and when fully stuffed I rub just a bit. Getting 35's which should eat another inch of the possible uptravel. Now, I certainly can get 2 additional inches of bumpstop so I'll be right close with available shock and fender and make it work, or I can lift an additional inch, and add 1" bumpstop and have approx 4.5" uptravel and 7 droop... see how that works? Anyone understand what I'm getting at?
Now if I add the inch spacer up front, how do I add the same in the rear to keep the rig leveled? Don't want to stack a block and a shim, and don't know what the "taper" is on a tapered block, or what additional height I'm getting from the 6* shim.
Short term I'm gonna get the 2" bumpstop and live with 3.5 uptravel at current lift. No buring desire to go higher, just don't know where 3.5" uptravel fits within the grand scheme of things. FWIW I have almost 5" with my current shocks, but I can't say I've ever used it or if its even "available" given lift and the spring rate vs. weight of vehicle when compressed the far. Clear as mud? Any thoughts from y'all?
