Can I see the pics of your ground control coilover sleeve setups? I would really like to see how they look installed and how much clearance is present.
Thanks a ton!

I'm running the GC 8" coilover sleeves on AGX Struts.
Here's a full profile shot:

Here's a couple shots inside the wheel well:


Hope this helps.

Hey thanks a lot for the pictures man! Really appreciate it! I think I'm sold! How do you like the adjustability?

Yeah, unlikely you'll see that much extension unless you're off the ground, but I think it would still possible to unseat the inside spring on a hard bump or corner.
There's a guy on nasioc/iwsti (stretchjse) who's done all the spring rate/length/travel calcs but I still haven't bothered to read through it all.

Yes, the suspension is completely hanging free. I thought about the helper springs when I installed the suspension but it quickly left my mind since I'm not quite sure how to go about it/where to buy them.
As for the adjustability I pretty much set the height and forget about it. Since they are 8" springs I don't see myself dropping them any lower than full extension because it will be WAY too low.
Dampening adjustability is great. 4-way up front and 8-way in the rear (currently set at 3/4 F/R) allows me quite a bit of control. Especially important for when the snow flies (like right now).
