I have no idea, it was originally Jeremy (NoLimitz) that pointed it out shortly after the 2nd-Gen was released.

So you have your shock cartridges threaded all the way in to the tubes? Try extending them out a bit. Doing so will limit suspension travel, but you'll have more droop.

Thats word I was told it was the other way around. The more.i thread it down the closer it brings the axle to the body.I might try it right now.I'm at work so I have all I to work on it!!!

I have mine extended out quite a ways. Like I've mentioned, I only have around 1"-1.5" of upward shock travel at ride heighth. Doing so will allow the shock to hit the bumpstop before the tire or wheel hits a fender or rubs more.

I never got around to it at work so maybe Sunday morning. (i just picked up a low pro jack at harbor freight $99) I just went outside and measured, now keep in mind I have 2 rings on the LR and 1 ring on the RR... And they measure almost exactly 23.5 inches rear fender to ground. rough estimate obviously due to the poke. Both shocks threaded to the max. I'm gonna try and threading the other way and see what happens... TBC!!!

Just a little sneak peak at my weak winter setup... This will also allow me to remove the rear collars and drop the fronts another 1.5-2"

HAHA.. thanks but wait till you see how week the numbers are... more like d-trash... with that said, everyone at work loves em... lol So far the ride is FAR superior to my 17's.. and I'm wondering if It has anything to do with the hellastrech on the privats... Maybe???

Where to begin.. I'm gonna try and make this as brief as possible.. Took a 1000 mile road trip (what an effin mistake) about 250 miles into the trip stop to get gas I smell burning rubber....LR fender is sitting on the tire. I eventually jack my car up and adjust the coils for the rest of the trip... So after getting back from my road trip I adjust the coils back down.. and Viola, the rear fenders are identical??? WTF?? The only logical explanation was the coils weren't seated correctly... The LR being the 1/4 out further obviously explains all the rubbing on the tire.. and furthering the need for a rear camber kit!!!

Now with my new setup on, fronts are a tad higher, both rear collars removed.. HELLATUCK... LOL... Official measurement: R=23.75" F=23.5" Not bad, but I was hoping to break the 23" mark.. doesn't seem possible with a 225-40-18... Pics coming this week hopefully...

At least everything is settled! Last I checked, I was around 24.5" from fender to ground.

Drags don't look bad!
