I just had my new Bilstein remote resovoir shocks installed. They have heim joints on the ends to allow movement in their mounts.
When we ramped the Explorer after the new shocks were installed we were VERY surprised at how much more droop we were able to get. As you can see in the photos the droop is so much that the coil spring falls way to far from the shaft which is supposed to keep it in position.
So... I can either strap the front end and end up with the same travel that I had before... or I can get Bilstein coil overs and get probably 6" or more of additional droop.
What do you guys think? Is enough enough or should I go for the gusto??
