I got out and measured up my springs and shocks etc.

My current setup is:
FL Spring
420mm with 19.3mm wire. 9 coils.

RR Spring
530mm with 19.3mm wire. 12 coils.

I'm tipping they are heavy heavy duty

My front suspension max travel (between shock mounts) is 585mm. This was with everything unbolted except the radius arm (no steering arms/shock/sways). I can see why guys run superflex arms. I undid the front radius bolt and the whole setup was able to drop heaps more - with 630mm until my spring became loose.

On compression to just touching bump it was 430mm with 80 series bumps. So from my reading I should take another 100mm for safety as a minimum with them.

Call it 330mm compressed shock length with no mods is that pretty standard?

So if I was to fit 10" fox (16.1" closed = 408.94mm call it 410mm) I would need 70-80mm worth of bump/tower mods. Considering doing a 40-50mm tower lift (what I can fit) as I like the idea of more up travel, with the rest on the bump?
10" fox has ~ 660mm extension, minus any tower lift ~ 610mm max extension from current shock mounts. I have 585mm max drop currently so that should fit nicely??

Rear maximum extension with swaybar connected is 695mm, no swaybar is 785mm. On compression I had 450mm between shock mounts on bump contact (factory bump), so take another 50mm, 400mm with bump compressed.

The 11" fox compressed is 435mm extended is 714mm. So for extension it would suit nicely with 40-50mm bump mods?

Haha lots of Q's in there, just trying to get my head around it all before I decide on spending serious cash.

Thanks
@bigguwesty have you got your shocks/springs in yet?

What lift are you working off of?
My measurements are for a 2" lift.
I suspect your may be more..

I'm personally going to adjust up travel in mine as the front springs are very far apart and I doubt I'll have any coil bind issues with lifting the front shock mount 25 - 30mm.
Will just need to hole the wheel arch to get the top bolt threw..

As for rears well again I'm only going the 2" so I've simply gone the progressive bump stops.
Again they compress heaps so will have to work out if I need to extend or not..

With the rear it depends on how extreme you wish to go.
You could modify the top shock mounts and move them up and in to give you a greater shock length.. but that's a fair bit of work..
