u have teins that use oem tophats right?
because im at max drop on mine but i think i need a shorter shockbody in order for me to go lower im at 24 in from the floor to the top of fender and i want to go 1/2 in lower

i didnt drop it yet. its on the springs all the way up and it is like the tein's all the way down.

it should be good to go when i drop it. and yea i didnt need alot more drop just around an inch

lol. they will come sooon. been working on alot of things lately. axles n stuff giving problem. just taking care if the issues before i settle down and drop it.

heres a little something. as you can see. has to be dropped a little to settle in place and then the spring takes effect.

I added extra rubber pads on the top for it to settle in. Should have everything good to go by the next 2 weeks

Must have taken you a while to spin off the mount from all those threads. I was thinking of doing that, but I just used my impact to gun out the nut on the top. Soo much faster. hahah
