and yesterday i cut out 2 coils up front , i know everyone says 1coil=2" but im not so sure about that , maybe the first coil = 2" but the coils are not all wound the same, at the bottom they are tighter together and then get farther apart toward the center of the coil, so 1 & 1/2 coils = more like 3-3 1/2" and 2 coils takes it way down to around 4 1/2 or 5
then i put these on which i had built for my 4wheeler to use at 2" lift shackles since i was shackle flipped but decided to use them on big ugly as 2" lowered shackles since they are so beefy
you can see in these pics how i had them set up , they are stock shackles stuck into 1/8" thick steel sqaure tube with bottom notched out for the leaf spring eye and plated with another strip of 1/8" plate up inside them which makes they 1/4" thick, also gussted them on the back side . they worked really good 4wheeling soim sure street beating will be plenty fine on them
