I finally got to swap over to my new springs today. I swapped out the 400lb springs to 150 lb X 18" long.. Sway-a-way didn't know that 150 x 18" springs existed, but i found them from Blue Coil Springs. I was able to lower the ride height by 5"! Im stoked, because that is exactly where i wanted it. It sat way too high before.. here are some pics..

So now i have about 6" of up travel (not flexed), and about 10" of down travel.... and tons more of flexed travel!

The shocks are custom length 18" travel 2.5" sway-a-ways.. they are so long because i removed the old air cylinders, and didn't want to change the shock mounts.. (that is why they have those long spacers on the bottom)
