Ok I can get some pics tomorrow...I prefer to look at it in terms of the cv angles. Right now with 1000lb springs it sits with the cv's slightly negative. If I wanted to go to a stiffer spring I could easily drop it another inch or so and still be in the middle of the shock travel using a 6" spring. I wanted the stance to be with cv's level, and its about perfect for that. I havent fully tinkered with it. Furthermore if I used the stud adapter instead of the shackle adapter deal, thats an automatic 1.5" higher mounting point. What im getting at is you can have a very low stance and still do this coilover swap.

Mine just touches the bump stops. I don't want it low I use it too much off road for that. So that sounds like it will work out nicely. When are you going to get to drive it and see how she rides?
