man I want to see some of the rigs they build.
Very cool about the larger torsion bars though.

Wow!
Yeah, I thought to my self, oh shit, that's what' keeping me on the ground not the stock torsion bar... nope, when I lowered the jack it sat exactly like it did before I pulled both shocks.

Might even need limiting straps??
Naw, this thing has bump stops at the top and bottom of travel. If I need to limit down travel, I can adjust that bump-stop.

Frack me..
Okay, here's how much my stock shocks were limiting down travel
I measured for new shocks have about 17.5" of room at full drop
Wow, that is impressive. Yeah, that old stock stuff gets pretty "sticky"..
Yeah, and the other tire isn't even at full stuff

so what shocks do you need?
Gonna call Down South tomorrow and fins out for certain
I should have checked that huh?

Maybe.....You could always just jack it up again I guess.
Okay, now that it's cooled off some and the mosquitos have gone to sleep, I went out and jacked up the front end again.
Most importantly I got the full stuff shock measurement: 12.75"
Also I tested to see if the CV binds at full drop. It does, but just barely, even at full lock. Right now the LCA is adjusted all the way out, so I'l bet once it is adjusted to normal spec, the binding should be even more minimal. I might also replace those bump stops to reduce the drop ever so slightly.

Pardon my geekiness but my last paper in Engr school was active suspension using hydraulic cylinders on all four corners - no springs - used accumulators for 'springs' (rate fully adjustable instantaneously). Used a gyro to sense if you needed to change the charge on the top or bottom of the cylinders to maintain a level or banked stance... Pure theory that is now being used in reality.
Anyway, wouldn't it be cool to have full extension on demand to get around rocks and such!
