good day at rausch.  front shocks feel great- still room for a lot of tuning but definitely get things moving around more and under control.

2.5 is plenty long.
staying with the allen set screw style is much easier for adjustment, what I have to do with 2 same size hexes above each other is kinda annoying.

side note, changes to my radiator shroud last go around with bolted in tabs and weld nuts, made changing a radiator fan a 20 minute job instead of a 5 hour job. 

winning.

king pin adjuster swapped no issues at line mt friday night.  2.5" is probably .5" longer than original, no big deal. 


shock notes-  much more compliant on little chop for a much better ride over all.  still harsh on mid to high range / high speed impacts.  Coil over gets warmer than bipass.

looking like 14bolt spindle replacement not as easy as i had imagined.  looks like guys are slugging on at  the tube.  that sounds silly.
