Thanks for that pic Richard. That's exactly what I have too, 1 3/4" !! That sure doesn't seem like lots of travel for a 4X4 truck. Maybe that's just the way these trucks are. I was afraid of bottoming out on the slightest bump. Even my street rod had 3" of compression travel before hitting the rubber stops. I think I will still look into raising the truck another 1 1/2" for an extra margin of safety.
