maybe shock towers with a lower mounting point? but again very limited up travel. I'm in a similar boat but trying to maximize articulation without going any higher, the CG in these is high enough as it is.

they are set up for 5in of lift.

I notice their "custom spring" form only gives you a max of +2....I haven't called them yet, but I did reach out to https://www.hypercoils.com/off-road-powersports/
and I'll let ya'll know.

When I was into performance cars/racing...Hypercoils was a respected brand...

also, has anyone heard or these guys: http://www.raptor4x4.net/contents/en...PRINGS_01.html

The 10cm is basically 4in....their site though...makes me weary.

Maybe cause the Landy brand and reputation we know today was mostly stock on stock stuff

So Hyper Coils quoted me approx 3k to make these springs since I’d be looking at one set.

Could be a product market there....

anyway, I’m checking into Raptor again

Bummer. Ask Raptor for the Free Length and Spring Rate (lbs)
