    They pretty much told me "sorry". I even brought up the fact that it should be listed that the Eibach UCA are a "part" of the system, and there should be a reference/recommendation to also purchase them.

    I actually have about 200 lbs of tools in there now.
    But like I said... it's growing on me quickly.

    I want to officially thank everyone who had ideas and suggestions... it really did help me out!
    It was nice just to have people giving me advice that wasn't completely bunk, or untrue!!
    Just got her home from the alignment shop, and she drives beautifully! Still need to trim about a square inch of the fender on each side and just a smidge of the stupid bump out on the rear of the front wheel well plastic.

    What's the distance from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender flare F & R ?
    Mine are 22" front, 22 1/4" in the rear.
    I haven't done it yet, but I was going to take a heat gun & heat that bump up and then push it in (wearing gloves of course) Just a suggestion.

    I am not able to measure right this moment (in the middle of another project, lo) but in an hour or so I will... the heat gun sounds like a good idea! I don't have one, but might be able to find one to borrow. I'll post measurements as soon as I can.

    Oh, man! When it rains it pours...
    So I haven't done any more measurements, because my old ass deck started collapsing the other night. So I had to draw up plans and go apply for a permit, etc etc.
    And now in the process of tearing it down. Ofcourse there were no footings, so I'll have to dig them. And trying to get all the supplies together. Ehhhhhh!
    I'll get the measurements as soon as I can, I would like to know myself if for no other reason.
    Wish me luck!

    Wait, wut? :rofl:
    Bumpstops are for up travel. A bigger bumpstop won’t do anything for droop travel.
    I think you mean limiting straps. Those would prevent the wheel from dropping too far down.
