hows the ride compared to a 3" spacer lift w/ trd coils and HD bilsteins? is it safe to run them at 3" all the time? i understand its not recommended but why? i already have a diff drop and im looking for the most clearance possible. i see fabtech and downey advertize 0-3.5" on theie coilover kits.. but i really like the donahoes and camburgs. and whos got the best deal going i see wheelers has free shipping on the hoes. and i herd someone say 10% off for ttora members at camburg.com is that still going on does anyone know?

thanks

If you have ADD the CV angles could be too steep with them cranked all the way up. The diff drop will help but not sure how much. Most people say you should run 2.5" on ADD and cranked all the way up with manual hubs. However, it makes sense to me that the 1" diff drop would put a 3"-3.5" down at 2"-2.5" CV angles. Just going on what others have said. I think you should be fine running them cranked up. The ride will just be more firm.

From my understanding you dont get as much articulation the higher you crank up the coilover, as well as the harsher the ride the higher you go. I know a few guys running their coilovers at 3" w/ ADD and have not broken one thing.. Guess some guys get lucky.

I had my coilovers up to 2.5" thread showing and dropping it to 2.25" was a huge difference, it surprisingly softened up the ride alot just by dropping them .25".

The general consensus on diff drops.. they dont do shit for cv angles. I got one from cornfed a while back, it didnt help one bit. Ive heard the same from numerous others on here.

wheeler's is hard to beat on the price with free shipping on the hoe/camburg combo. And no sales tax too? not much competition there when they're basically selling the stuff at the minimum advertised price.

i wonder which setup is the most tolerable, or has the better ride quality at 3+". anybody with their coilovers cranked to 3 and over chime in here please . im interested in the camburgs, hoes, downeys, SAWs, Kings, allpros.. i run a 3" spacer now and dont have a problem with cv angles just a harsh ride. why is not possible to put say a 1" spacer ontop the whole coilover unit Not ontop the coil as a coil spacer. if you saw the a previous post about downey coilovers with the pictures it looks like it has a 1.25" spacer for the top mount of the coilover.now add that to a cambumburg for example and you could crank it only to 2" or less and still have 3" lift

i have the fox shox 0-3.5 and i have 2.5 driver side and 2.25 passenger side amount of thread showing(not sure if this is lift). the ride is pretty good and the angle on the cv's are ok althought i have 3 fins touching upper and lower but i have aisin manual locking hubs, my friend has a 4runner with a 3 spacer lift and the ride is a little rough compared to mine.

To All: The amount of thread showing on the shock body, or the amount of thread distance you crank the adjustment collar, has nothing to do with the amount of lift you get with your adjustable coilovers. To measure how much lift you gain/lose with any adjustment(s), you must measure the ride height before and after adjusting, not the thread height/distance/difference.

thanks synovus i was pretty sure that the thread showing had nothing to do with actual lift but not 100%
