So I finally got around to installing the straps, and they are too short. I bought 8" straps, and with them installed and the loosest I can get them while still having enough threads showing to get both nuts on I only have 1.25" of downward suspension travel. I need to go a little longer...should I get a 9 or 10" strap instead?

I have 10" on mine but I am not sure how much our ride hieght differs. I can back mine off enough that it drives normal, because with them strapped the front end bounces like a bitch.
