My credo
Custom everything! Purists look out!
So I purchased some Skyjacker Coils and they are way, way wider than I expected. The coils are 6" wide at one side and 7 at the other. I guess I should have done more research but even now I cannot find that info online... oh well. My real question is if I end up using these coils I know I will have to do custom buckets and perches BUT how far should the coil be from the tire? Turning shouldnt effect it at all only when the axle is stuffing. Tomorrow I will pull my coil out and flex the axle with the tires on but any input right now?

Do you have a part number, Bro? Or, did you just buy some coils you saw for sale?
