Anyone install this spring yet? If so what is the installed length of the spring? My dealer installed mine and it still bottomed out. I measured the spring with the suspension at full drop and the installed length of the spring was around 11 inches. I managed to adjust it in the sled, what a bitch, and tightened it to an installed length of 10 1/2 inches. I could still bottom it out if I try. What is the shortest installed length I could adjust to before it coil binds?
Also any one out there in the 250 lb weight class dressed could help out with a good set-up for compression and rebound settings for the front end and rear skid?

Same on this spring...take it to the max setting. How you ride...has a big factor on whats bottoming and what to do. Also there has been a few blown shocks and bad wires, do to not enough spring on its initial pounding.

JERSYJOE, I am about 245 with gear and I have the same spring as you. I have it set up to 10.3 inches installed height which is the min you can go I think.I get about 44mm of sag with that setting.Also I have my rebound clicker set 5 clicks firmer. I usually set my electric shock in the middle and it only bottoms out in the real nasty ones,but if I set the shock to full hard I can't get it to bottom.As for the front I have set the front springs one turn firmer and the compression and rebound 3 clicks each firmer.I also have my transfer rod one notch towards min from the center stock setting.With 8 inch woodys duallys the sled rails thru the corners and doesn't dart at all.
