I have the a-arm setup on my truck, and I'm looking to gain a little more travel. I've done a lot of searching, and read the article in the tech library, but I still need help.
I have some coil spacers for a 2" lift on the front. I know, it's not much, but I allows what looks like about 3" between my lower control arm and the rubber bump stop on the frame. I dont really want to lift my truck any, I'm just wondering if this is a normal amount of travel or if I blow through it and bottom out over every bump? Or should this be an ok amount?
My next question is about more down travel. I haven't bought better shocks yet, so as of now I know I'm not getting crap out of the stockers. But after new shocks, would maybe some fabtech upper control arms give more down travel? I also plan to do a shackle flip in the rear sometime. I hope this isn't just a stupid rambling post that doesn't make sense lol, I just hope someone will chime in and offer some guidance lol. Thanks!
