Lowering lift for more down travel - trigonometry required?
I'm set up at 3" of lift in the front and although I'm happy with the ground clearance I'm debating dropping down .5" to .75".
As set, I don't have much down travel and I feel like I'm hitting the holes a bit too hard.
I'm also not happy with my current alignment and plan on getting it redone at a better shop with more 4x4/lift experience.
I have Dobinson UCAs and still only have 2.5 for caster.
So I'm thinking if I'm getting the alignment redone anyway, might as well play with the lift now.
I've read up a bit on adjusting and it seems like I should be able to lower the lift with the coilovers still on.
I can clean the threads, let the hub droop and take pressure off the coils.
Sounds right doesn't it?
Raising would require compressing and might require taking the coilovers off.
Anything else weird?
.5" on the coil = .5" suspension travel = .5" lift?
Or do I need to do trigonometry to figure out what .5" on the coil equals on the tire?
