^ Doesn't look like you're all that low to begin with.

If you start hitting bumpers you will know it
It depends on the bump stop. KW V3s have big fat bump stops that make it hard to really hit the bone jarring bottom. The downside is you hit the bump stops sooner.

I have this much...

And I use all of it besides this much...


800 lbs springs in the rear. If the car is going to only be ran on flat ground then you could get away with less but if they car is going to be street driven with bumps you want adiquite travel or this happens...


Check out my JRZ thread I talk about travel and give measurements somewhere in there.

Aren't those scratches on your shock from helper collar been on the top? If I was you I would put them on bottom.

Bump stops are 1 inch or 1.25

I have way less travel than that on my shocks. Pics to come later hard to see with the wheel on

The jrz seems to have way more travel than me

This is my height and as you can see rear travel is little. Hard to tell but it's about 1-1.5 inch. I think I should raise the car at least 0.75 all around

Do you think it's enough ?
