BP-51 question (probably a stupid one)

[kcjaz]

Any one running with more than 20mm factory preload? If so, what's the limit? Why? Just wondering if I could eek out a little more lift.

About 25 here. But I’m heavy. Anyone can run higher, but the threads are really intended to offset additional weight…not intended to create major lift. You can…but it means you’re inviting a harsh ride.

You might install a set of the OEM coil spacers instead of cranking the preload. I've heard that pushing the preload can make the ride harsh

Just so you know, spacers will allow your suspension to droop more and possibly compress less. Drooping more might bind your cvs. Compressing less might bottom out your shocks before the factory bump stops.
