Hi all,
My front springs are shot, so I've tracked down a replacement stock set. He measured from the top of the axle tube to the bottom of the frame (bumpstop removed) and his measurements were 6.5" front and 7.5" rear.
I just went out and measured my own, I have 3.5" Front (with a 3" bumpstop that only leaves me about half an inch of travel
) and 5.5" rear. So if I were to purchase the replacement set I would gain 3" up front and 2" rear.
Can anyone tell me the measurements they have with an OME setup? Maybe someone with a 70 series and OME lift could go out and take a quick measure for me?
Also, as a temporary solution can I take a blade/saw to my rubber bumpstops to avoid bottoming out on every bump, and, if I do bottom out after this, would there be significant damage to the frame/axle tube on the front?
As a disclaimer, I realize the OME would be ultimately better, but as a student on a student budget, I need to do some cost-benefit analysis.
