after lowering the front of mine i have 6 inches of front end travel.

thats with torsion bars and its allmost sitting on the bottom stops.

i'm fixin to work on making some adj upper bump stops and raise the front back up a tad just to get it closer to a level ride height.

I WANT THE FRONT TIRES TO COME OFF THE GROUND DAMMIT!!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Not much on nitros. Like getting pure power and speed.
I know i saw it in a previous post but which way do you turn the bars to raise or lower. I haven't much room left in the cross member to pull the bars out much further. My front actually sits higher than my s-10 with the 400 in it.

Meaured mine today, had about 4 3/4 inches with the bump stops.
Removed them and have right at 5'' of suspension travel.
Guess that is about all I can do. It does appear that the coilover stops the travel when it is extended all the way.



The end of shock travel is not a bump stop.

If i were you i would check and be 100% sure that the shock youve got is right to run without suspension travel stops.
