I pulled mine out, but I'm running DOM 2600's. At full lift the upper ca hits the spring pocket.

The rubber stop under the upper control arm limits droop when the suspension is extended (truck is jacked up to the point the tires are no longer touching the ground). Leave them in as they don't inhibit compression & do limit extension.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
